It will endanger the long-term viability of the Bradford museum and further concentrate the nation\u2019s cultural treasures in an already grotesquely bloated capital,\u2019 claims a petition launched

by Neville Walker.<\/p>\n<p>Among those against the proposal is Simon Cooke, leader of the Conservatives at Bradford Council who, in an open letter, wrote: \u2018We don\u2019t have much up here and it fills me with a kind of sad rage that you felt able to visit this act of cultural rape on my city.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Also lobbying against the move to the capital is Bradford South MP Judith

Cummins called on the government to \u2018stop the stealth move to downgrade our National Media Museum\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Cummins added: \u2018The National Media Museum is a hugely important part of the

we reported the RPS\u2019s concern that the move will spell the loss of a \u2018national museum of photography\u2019 which, in the past, has been able to focus on the science as well as the art of photography.<\/p>\n<p>The RPS fears the move to the V&amp;A will lead to a \u2018selective and narrow appreciation of photography\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Although the RPS said it has received a \u2018commitment\u2019 that the collection \u2018will be retained as a distinct entity\u2019 within the V&amp;A, it stressed that the transfer will mean \u2018no future national museum of photography\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement dated 31 January, the RPS said: \u2018While the move will prove beneficial in opening up access to the RPS Collection, the Society is concerned that the absence of a single institution with the curatorial expertise to collect and interpret all aspects of photography beyond its art will lead to a selective and narrow appreciation of photography that existed before the formation of the National Media Museum in 1983 when the V&amp;A and Science Museum worked independently.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The RPS added: \u2018There will be challenges for the V&amp;A, which houses the national collection of art photography, to deal with photographic technology and science that forms a key part of the RPS Collection.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In response, a V&amp;A spokesperson told <em>Amateur Photographer <\/em>on Monday: \u2018V&amp;A photographs curators will take on overall responsibility for the research and conservation of the entire RPS collection and will work collaboratively with experts in all aspects of photographic history.\u2019<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-69671\"
