Jo Quinton-Tulloch, museum director, said: "Our collections and the rich narratives they tell touch upon all our lives, from the first photographic negative and film footage to the advent of radio and television.

"Our sound and vision galleries showcase how everyday objects have the power to be extraordinary."

A spokesperson for The National Lottery Heritage Fund added: "In 1995, the museum was one of the first transformational projects in Yorkshire that received National Lottery funding from the Heritage Fund.

"After 30 years, we're proud to have supported the museum with another transformational grant for these fantastic new galleries."
