Museums and Galleries
Culture lovers won't be disappointed with the vast and varied cultural offering in Durham. Come face to face with an Egyptian cat's coffin at Durham University's Oriental Museum - the country's only museum devoted entirely to oriental art and antiques. If you prefer European art head for The Bowes Museum in the picturesque market town of Barnard Castle, which showcases collections of international significance - including paintings by Canaletto and El Greco, or visit the DLI Museum and Durham Art Gallery for military memorabilia and exhibitions of modern and contemporary art. Why not take a step back in time and experience life in the Great North in the 1800's and 1900's at Beamish, or learn about life in a lead miner's cottage during Victorian times at Weardale Museum.
