About the venue - Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums

Venue name

Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums is a regional museum, art gallery and archives service. Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums manages a collection of 12 museums and galleries across Tyne and Wear, supported by the five local authorities of the area.

There are two venues from Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums that are involved in the People and Place project; Segedunum Roman Fort, Baths and Museum and The Great North Museum: Hancock.

Segedunum Roman Fort, Baths and Museum is a multi-award winning Museum, which tells the story of the Roman fort which guarded the eastern end of Hadrian’s Wall. It includes display galleries, a reconstructed Roman bath house and section of Hadrian’s Wall, the original remains of the fort and Wall, and a 35 metre high viewing tower.

The Great North Museum: Hancock incorporates collections from the Hancock Museum and Newcastle University’s Museum of Antiquities, the Shefton Museum and the Hatton Gallery. One of the highlights of the new £26million museum is the Roman Gallery, which includes a large scale, interactive model of Hadrian’s Wall and a wealth of archaeological finds from across the Wall. Visitors can hear audio stories from the people who actually lived on the wall based on the evidence of inscription stones.
