Beamish Museum

Beamish is a world famous open air museum telling the story of the people of North East England during the 1820s, early 1900s, 1940s and 1950s. Beamish isn't a traditional museum - you won't find objects displayed in glass cases and there are no labels. At Beamish buildings collected from across the region are filled with objects illustrating the region's history, many donated by local people to help the Museum tell their story. Costumed staff and volunteers use these collections to create a living, working Museum that tells the story of everyday life in the North East of England through time. Our focus is on people and creating an authentic, immersive experience of the region's past - an experience that constantly changes with each season.
