One of Britain's liveliest modern art galleries, the Baltic Centre occupies a former flour mill on Gateshead's waterfront. Past exhibitions from the likes of Brian Eno and Beryl Cook cause occasional controversy. Visit the Rooftop Restaurant for great views.
The £46 million National Lottery-funded project has transformed the former Baltic Flour Mills, a disused 1950s grain warehouse, into one of the biggest international contemporary arts spaces in Europe. The venue houses five galleries, artists' studios, a cinema/lecture space, a library and archive for the study of contemporary art, as well as three different food and drink areas, including a rooftop restaurant with amazing views of Tyneside.
For more information about current exhibitions, please visit the BALTIC website.
