Vast converted mill with minimalist interiors, hosting temporary shows by contemporary artists.
Liked this. An eclectic range of exhibits. Frankie Raffles photography exhibit particularly good. Worth an hour for sure and free with a donation. Excellent views as well as exhibits with a nice coffee shop which has access to a roof terrace. The access isn't obvious but either ask the staff or go up the stairs in the corner of the coffee shop.
Visiting the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art was a delightful experience! With its six floors offering diverse attractions, there's something for everyone. From thought-provoking art installations to a vibrant bar on the top floor, surrounded by stunning views. The fourth floor is a green oasis with plants and crops, while the second floor is perfect for kids, featuring a library and interactive exhibits. The ground floor boasts charming shops and captivating lighting. Overall, a must-visit destination for an enriching half-day outing with loved ones!
Wanted to look around the Baltic Centre, was given a schedule of events on arrival and informed there was a guided tour at 11. It was fascinating. Really a great experience and Alisha was so informative and passionate about the events and work behind the scenes. Fantastic views and loved the kittiwakes nesting just a few feet away from the viewing platform. So many things for the children to get involved in And it's free entry!
I went there with my college tour in November, and it was my first time visiting an art gallery. I must say, all the artworks were beautiful. I encountered captivating exhibitions like Project Art Works: Residential and Michael Rakowitz's The Waiting Gardens of the North. Each offered a unique perspective and left an indelible impression on my mind.
+: stunning building and view nice space for kids very interesting visit about the kittiwakes -: I assume they struggle to attract high profile artists... I also booked a bday party a few years ago and, in spite of the amazing kid space, it was not great at all (in fact I just remember now I never got the video). All in all, a nice place to visit for the building and the view or if you have children but don't get your hopes too high if you have art expectations !
Free entry. Quiet with lovely views of the city. Some good artwork/ photos from years gone by. Cafe, WCs and children's play areas are all. onsite. It's worth a visit, as some of the artwork can be well worth a view.
