The Dorman Museum reopened on the 1st March 2003 after a 3 year redevelopment programme. The museum now has 8 permanent galleries, temporary exhibition space, on-site collection store, resources room, education suite and cafe. Our exhibitions, events and activities illustrate the cultural and natural world. We use our anthropology, natural and social history collections to lead our programme of regular events aimed at all ages and abilities.

The Dorman Museum is fully accessible, winning the ADAPT Award for Access in 2003. Admission to the museum is free.

The re-development was supported by grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund, European Regional Development Fund, One NorthEast, English Partnerships, Northern Electric, British Steel, Teesside TEC and North East Museums, Libraries & Archives Council.
