Visit BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art

A room with a lot of paintings on the walls

Enter a vast former flour mill, encounter changing contemporary art and look across the Tyne from high above the quayside. BALTIC gives a family visit scale, surprise and enough open space to pause between exhibitions. Because the programme changes, the point is not to arrive knowing what you should like. Compare reactions, notice how artists use the building and let disagreement become part of the experience rather than a sign that anyone has missed the answer. Admission is free. Check the current exhibitions, opening details and family programme before travelling. Add this to your list and see what a familiar riverside building can become.
