At the very heart of its community, South Shields Museum celebrates the rich heritage of South Tyneside and the people who shaped it.
The museum is spread over two floors telling the story of the borough's social, industrial and maritime history from 4,000 years ago to the present day through a range of displays, exhibitions and nationally significant works of art.
On the ground floor you can get closer to the collection and treasures of South Tyneside.
There's also Creature Corner, home to resident reptiles and insects, the shop and a small cafe, the Victorian Pantry, serving a range of hot and cold refreshments.
