Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens

Combine excellence in teaching with enjoyment in learning by visiting Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens.

Explore local history in 20th Century Sunderland, Coal and Launched on Wearside. Investigate Anglo-Saxon and Bronze Age life in Secrets of the Past. The Art collections include Victorian and L. S. Lowry paintings. There are also collections of pottery, glass and North East textile crafts on permanent display. The Winter Gardens allow bananas, lemon trees, palms, tree ferns and cacti to grow under the same roof. Explore the prehistoric feel of Fern Gully and the heights of the canopy on the Treetop Walk. Worlds Alive and Lost Worlds show the diversity of life on earth on a local and global scale.
