This package lets you explore the Josephine and John Bowes Museum near the market town of Barnard Castle in County Durham, learn about its founders and look at a sample of its collections.
You can also discover how other museums, in both Sunderland and County Durham, offer a variety of exhibitions and activities and what Curators and other members of staff do behind the scenes to present the public with "visions of the past ".
The section on Barnard Castle during the outbreak of cholera in the mid- nineteenth century lets you explore the conditions in the town at that time using the example of one particular family.
