Monkwearmouth Museum
Take a look inside a real Victorian railway station and visit the fascinating ticket office. Watch trains pass by, 'drive' a full-size bus cab and let off steam in the brand new children's gallery. There is also a regular programme of temporary exhibitions and family activities.
With a £1million refurbishment to improve accessibility and better visitor facilities, the station museum has now opened its doors to show off the seven new interactive galleries. One of these is a Children's Gallery which promises an entertaining and educational experience for both young and old.
The museum will also be a hub for schools and community groups, who will be able to use the rooms. An after-school club is also to be set up for local school children and their parents or carers can meet up.
Open
Monday - Saturday 10am - 5pm,
Sunday 2pm - 5pm.
Closed: 25 & 26 December & 1 January.
