Discovery Museum

Arts and Culture

Head to Newcastle's Discovery Museum and immerse yourself in Tyneside's rich industrial and maritime history.

Bursting with interactive displays, it's the perfect place to learn all about the important role Newcastle and Tyneside have played in everything from science and technology to fashion and the military, while its regular kid-friendly events are bound to inspire young enquiring minds.

Learn all about engineering and technology at the second floor Science Maze, discover the stories of émigrés who have made the region their home with the Destination Tyneside gallery and marvel at the massive Turbinia - once the fastest ship in the world which now dominates Discovery Museum's central hall.

The stunning Grade-II listed building the Discovery Museum calls home also boasts the gorgeous, art-deco-style Great Hall which is available to hire for conferences, dinners and weddings.
