The River Tyne is one of Britain's most successful trading rivers and a powerhouse of the nation.

Displays include full size boats, a ship model wall, a model of the river as it flows from its source, and models of the important routes across the river.
With interactive pulleys, an exploration of the river wildlife and a movable model of the Swing Bridge.
