We are always proud to represent the amazing and diverse heritage, art and culture of North East England but we feel especially proud of our region following the united community spirit demonstrated at the peaceful anti-racism protest in Newcastle on 7 August. 

Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums denounces racism in all its forms. Our nine venues are accredited Museums of Sanctuary and we will always welcome and support migrant and refugee communities. We are committed to providing a warm welcome to everyone, to breaking down barriers caused by inequality and discrimination and to sharing diverse stories.
