Durham Heritage Centre and Museum tells the story of the City of Durham from medieval times to the present day. The museum is situated in an historic church next to the World Heritage Site of Durham Cathedral and Castle.
A visit to the Museum with its stimulating exhibitions, models, hands-on activities and videos is the perfect introduction to Durham.
Displays describe the origins and development of the city and there are many fascinating objects that illustrate everyday life from the 17th century to the present day.
There is also an exciting programme of activities for school visits and frequent temporary exhibitions.
The Museum is County Durham's only brass rubbing centre. Visitors can make brass rubbings based on any of the many replicas available. They can also obtain completed brass rubbings in the Museum`s shop which sells books, souvenirs and postcards too.
