Great news for Great North Museum: Hancock and Hatton Gallery

We're very sorry to those planning a trip today.

A wonderful afternoon at Great North Museum: Hancock celebrating achieving Museums of Sanctuary status for our nine museums and galleries. We celebrated our Multaka volunteering programme for people with a migration background too! Great food and great company. City of Sanctuary UK 🧡 NewcastleCityCouncil

Fantastic trip to Great North Museum: Hancock with our MA students as part of their 'Britain's Empires' module. Had some fascinating conversations around colonial collecting, knowledge production & decolonisation. Many thanks to curators Dan Gordon & Andrew Parkin TWAM Museums.
