Impressive collection of pieces, A lot on display given the size of the exhibition 
Timed entry means you can't guarantee getting in immediately if you just turn up, Some paintings are hung too high, Expensive, £3 for an audioguide?! Amazing! Was overcrowded when I went Interactive, well layed out, lots to see, Wine tasting included! Takes a lONG time, only fairly cheap wines for tasting, some areas seem rushed. A good day out for all Experience the pollution of the past Excellent for those who like whisky ! Expensive, could potentially cost a small fortune !South Shields Museum
