Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums

Connecting through culture

One of the many ways we help our Business Partners connect through culture is by giving them the opportunity to hire original artworks from Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums' Designated collections, including those of the Laing Art Gallery, the Shipley Art Gallery, Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens and South Shields Museum & Art Gallery.

Our picture hire scheme, Art in the Workplace, is a tailor-made service available only to our Business Partners. We can offer you the unique opportunity to display original artworks in your workplace and create an interesting environment for your staff, clients and visitors.

In addition, when you hire pictures from Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are contributing to the conservation of important artworks and helping to preserve them for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
