New displays include Hadrian’s Wall, Ancient Egyptians and Ancient Greeks. A 'Bio-Wall' features hundreds of animals from across the world and in Fossil Stories; children can come face to face with a life-size T-rex skeleton. The region’s wildlife can be explored in Natural Northumbria and younger children can have fun in the Mouse House.
