Arts & Culture

This is an internationally recognised venue which hosts exhibitions alongside the main established collection; donated through the philanthropy of John and Josephine Bowes. There is an excellent education programme for Arts activities for children.
Its a surprise as its a replica of a French Chateaux. The Silver Swan Automaton is s surprise.My son loved it. The Paintings Collection is amazing a beautiful Goya painting of a prison scene and some wonderful 17th Century Dutch Landscapes. The costume collection and textile galleries are also very interesting. The Toy and archaeological collections are good too. Great Cafe and Shop !
