The Bowes Museum

Awards

  • Visit Britain Code of Practice 2011

One of Britain's most fascinating museum experiences. Founded over 100 years ago, by John and Joséphine Bowes, the magnificent building contains the greatest collection of European fine and decorative art in the North of England. The designated collection contains works by Goya, El Greco and Canaletto.
Opened in 1892, a major transformation is now underway, planting it firmly in the 21st century.
A fun day out for the whole family, there are a number of interactives to enjoy, which complement the exhibition programme.
The acclaimed Cafe Bowes is the perfect venue to unwind over lunch or a snack, while the adjacent shop offers a wide range of quality goods.
