Newcastle’s Discovery Museum could be relocated to empty shops or a newly-built location under plans for a major overhaul of the popular attraction.
It was revealed this summer that city bosses were considering the future of the venue, with its current home said to be in a “serious state of decline”. While a significant refurbishment of the grade II listed Blandford House is under consideration, a relocation of the science and local history museum to a new premises in the city is also an option.
A Newcastle City Council report reveals that the options being mulled over include “moving it to a space left empty through the decline in physical retail or a new build”.
