Abstract

© Christopher Whitehead, Katherine Lloyd, Susannah Eckersley and Rhiannon Mason 2015. All rights reserved. Destination Tyneside, Discovery Museum's newest permanent gallery, opened in July 2013. It tells the story of migration on Tyneside from the 1840s to today. Visitors to the gallery can follow the journey of historical and contemporary characters as they settle in Tyneside. These stories are placed in historical context through use of archival and museum objects, facts and historical quotes. Interactives are aimed at increasing empathy for, and understanding of, migrants’ lives.
