THINGS TO DO

Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums:

..invites you to collections dive - a fun way to explore thousands of images of their collections in a random way. The slower you scroll the more similar objects you see. The faster you scroll the more random they become.

Great North Museum: Hancock

Take a virtual tour of the Great North Museum: Hancock's Ice Age to Iron Age Gallery or go behind the scenes for a peek into the Biology and Ethnography stores. https://greatnorthmuseum.org.uk/visit-us/virtual-tours

Laing Art Gallery

A few years ago we worked with Google - they came to the Laing and took a super-high resolution image of Laus Veneris by Burne Jones, and now you can not only view it online but you can zoom right in to see the brush strokes.

Discovery Museum

Google also visited Discovery Museum. Explore a streetview inside the museum (it's changed a little bit since this footage was taken) and images of a selection of the museum's objects.
