A new museum is to open in Newcastle on May 23rd, allowing collections from various establishments to be put on display.The Great North Museum will feature works from the Newcastle University Museum of Antiquities, the Shefton Museum, and the Hatton Gallery. This will collectively form one of the best displays of archaeology, geology and natural history anywhere in Britain, and will certainly become a major attraction in the North East. The museum is actually located in the buildings of the former Hancock Museum on Barras Bridge, Newcastle. The Hancock closed its doors in 2006, allowing redevelopment into this new venture.
