Unveil Sunderland’s hidden treasure! Wander through four floors of captivating displays—from shipbuilding, coal mining & pottery galleries to the iconic Wallace the Lion and the first Nissan car off the line (1986). Marvel at industrial-era artworks, including a superb LS Lowry collection, and get hands‑on with interactive exhibits. Then step into the breathtaking Winter Gardens—a 21st‑century glass dome sanctuary with over 2,000 plants, a koi carp pond, and a treetop walkway overlooking historic Mowbray Park. All in the heart of the city centre, admission is free with a warm welcome for families, art lovers, and curious explorers.
