Back on Track

Monkwearmouth Station Museum has recently undergone a £1 million redevelopment.

A lot of specialist repair work was required on the building including a new roof and stonework repairs. The Museum now offers a modernized, accessible environment for visitors, with new heating and lighting systems and a lift to reach the upper floor.

The Museum houses seven new interactive galleries, including a specially designed Children's Gallery, which provides young visitors and their carers with a stimulating and exciting environment where they can have fun and learn together.

The redevelopment of Monkwearmouth Station Museum has been funded by a grant of 497,000 from The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) together with contributions from Sunderland City Council, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the DCMS/Wolfson Foundation Museums & Galleries Improvement Fund, The Friends of Sunderland Museums (FOSUMS) and Tyne & Wear Museums Business Partners Fund. The total investment is over 1 million.
