North East Museums cares for and showcases collections of international significance, representing a remarkable breadth of subjects and eras. Our holdings span archives, fine and decorative art, science and technology, archaeology, military and social history, fashion, and the natural sciences, offering insight into human achievement, creativity, and the natural world.

These collections are preserved not only for their historical and cultural value, but also to inspire learning, research, and enjoyment for future generations. From rare artefacts and archival documents to cutting-edge exhibitions, we strive to make our resources accessible to a wide and diverse audience.

In addition to managing the collections, North East Museums oversees a network of museums, galleries, and heritage services across the region. Each venue offers unique exhibitions, educational programmes, and events that bring history, art, and science to life. Whether you are a researcher seeking specialist resources, a family looking for an engaging day out, or a visitor with a passion for heritage, our sites provide something for everyone.
