Many museums and galleries around County Durham, Teesside and the wider North-East have not announced plans to reopen, with confirmation that Step 3 of the roadmap out of lockdown is going ahead coming just last night. But those preempting the green light to swing doors open and welcome back customers will be doing so from next week. Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums has announced staggered reopening dates for its venues, with Laing Art Gallery and Great North Museum: Hancock, both in Newcastle, opening on May 17.

The school said South Shields Museum & Art Gallery (SSMAG) played a major role in supporting all year groups at the school with their involvement in this programme.
The team at the centre in Ocean Road helped pupils engage with the National Gallery’s selected painting Men of the Docks , by George Bellows, delivering a school assembly and developing and delivering museum workshops.
During these workshops the school children also engaged with South Shields Museum’s 19th Century painting The Wreck off the South Pier , by John Scott, and other objects in the collection through visual literacy, movement and poetry writing.
