Visit Berwick Museum and Art Gallery, located in the Ravensdowne Barracks - the first purpose-built army barracks in England
Home to the Berwick Burrell Collection, it’s popular with visitors – many of whom were stationed at the Barracks which were in use up until 1964.
The Burrell Collection was one of the most generous civic donations to be made in Europe and pulls in the crowds with spectacular pieces on display all summer.
It’s made up of over 300 pieces including must-see oil paintings, watercolours, and drawings by masters including Degas, Boudin and Daubigny as well as locally-grown talents from Northumberland’s very own Joseph Crawhall.
Our eclectic collection includes objects as varied as Medieval finds from Berwick’s past, L.S Lowry’s Beach scene, Grace Darling’s weathervane, a Salmon fishing fording box with accompanying coble, a working telephone exchange as well as Samurai armour. We even have our very own dragon – fun for people of all ages!
Discover more about Northumberland’s impact on the world and its challenging history as a border territory.
With so much to see and experience, a trip to Berwick Museum and Art Gallery is sure to be a memorable day out for all.
