A perfect visit. The combination of the literally stunning architecture, eccentric collection and fantastic restaurant had something for all the family. A real find of a quality that surpasses everything in the North and more than equals many London museums. It is perfectly formed - big enough to be engaging but small enough to get round in a reasonable amount of time. Built by a couple whose lives and loves are intriguing too. Good exhibition programme so it changes regularly enough too. RebeccaB

A first class gallery and museum in an extraordinary building - contributing much to the history of County Durham and the North East - doing a great educational job. GanneD
