Love the art and the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere here. I come here regularly whenever they have new pieces to admire. I added some of the photos I took from last week’s visit. The view balcony is amazing, you can the beautiful view of the Sage and the Millennium Bridge.

I have been to this place many times. It’s free of charge. There are exhibit changes seasonally. The first floor has an art/bookshop which sells a lot of niche or pop art. The first floor sometimes has an art exhibit, and other times has a photography exhibit. The second and third floors are very small and usually very average. The fourth floor usually is the best, they either have a personal artist exhibit or a theme-oriented exhibit. The fifth floor is the view box for the fourth floor. Not worth going unless you want to see the exhibit from a higher point of view. The top floor has a balcony where you can see seagulls. Strongly suggest checking the exhibit before you go, in case you don’t like it and get disappointed. Overall it is the best modern art gallery in the Northeast. Still recommended it.

This was a fascinating art museum to visit, beginning with a highly creative project on the first floor! The paintings show different meanings and form settings magnificently, gaming room is retro where some can even be played. Higher up focuses on nature, showcasing beautiful plants and using them to replicate scenery including a viaduct!

I’ve visited the Baltic many times over the years and always been impressed by the fact that it is free entry to see amazing exhibitions and to get breathtaking view across the river and bridges. Today, the exhibition which impressed me the most was a collection of the work produced during the Project Arts Work Residential. The works are so vivid and full of energy and life! None of this pieces are credited or titled in the exhibition so if you do go to view ask for a catalogue as the artists, titles and mediums are listed. Use the lifts if you want to save your legs and start at the top of the building then work your way down.

Nice place to see different types of art instalations and also great to go with kids as they have multiple areas for kids to play in. Though when it's busy, the kids area is very hectic.

A very nice place, not too busy and friendly with some, interesting exhibitions e.g. 'Living garden' and Black and White photos documenting the history of black coal town. Fantastic view over the Millenium Bridge, the Tyne River and all 6 Bridges. The opening of The Millenium Bridge at 12.00 a.m. every day simply stunning. Very friendly staff. A possibility to purchase some nice works of modern artists. Definitely one of must sees in Newcastle.
