Sunderland Museum Redevelopment Works

Description

Plans include moving the main entrance to the terrace adjacent Mowbray Park, better connecting the museum to the park. The ground floor will be completely transformed with a new central atrium space, new galleries and more family friendly activities and exhibitions. The redevelopment will also create a new learning and engagement zone to complement the Winter Gardens with imaginative educational and outreach programmes focusing on the museum's collections, the natural world, biodiversity and climate change. New M&E systems will be installed throughout, helping us to achieve Sunderland's Carbon Zero targets.
