I was introduced to this place by my sister in law and have returned many times. What a great place with some fantastic exhibitions and a good restaurant - what more could one want? Even if you don't normally like art galleries or think that this is not your sort of place, give it a whirl. The permanent display about... More

I was dragged along by my Geordie wife to see this little gallery in the heart of Newcastle. I can say I thoroughly enjoyed wandering around the exhibits and seeing all the artwork (pictures, sculpture and instillation). The cafe situated in the Gallery served freshly made to order hot food (bacon stotties mmmmm) with hot tea and yummy cakes to... More

Small but perfectly formed art gallery houses many local paintings and artists. Worth a visit to see the sculptures of Henry Moore alone More

A lovely, compact gallery right in the city centre which is well worth a visit. The collection just about covers all formats and eras and is intelligently displayed. There are talks and visiting shows so it's worth checking their web site for full details. There's a very neat cafe serving snacks and meals and there’s a gift shop too. What... More

The gallery is in the centre of Newcastle - not very big but an interesting collection of paintings, china, glass. It is noted for its pre-Raphelite paintings but unfortunately most were our on loan at time of my visit, so I will have to go there again sometime. More

We went on a Wednesday which was the day they had a craft session based on the displays, for children, best of all it was all free! (check website for what's on). The staff couldn't have been any more friendly and... More

The Laing is a small gallery, a peaceful oasis only a stone's throw from the busy shopping streets. It is never crammed with visitors but it is never empty, either. Entry is free. I visited the Laing twice in December - braving the snow! - as I wanted to refresh my memories of a few old favourites (in the 18th/19th... More

This is a very good, free museum in Newcastle that was built in 1904. It has an old section, but some new modern sections also. There is very good art work and interesting displays on the history of the area. It is worth of visit if you are in the area. Look outside in the courtyard at the interesting way... More
