Lonely Planet review

Newcastle's rich history is uncovered through a fascinating series of exhibits at this excellent Discovery Museum. The exhibits, spread across three floors of the former Co-operative Wholesale Society building, surround the mightily impressive 30m-long Turbinia , the fastest ship in the world in 1897. The different sections are all worth a look; our favourites were the self-explanatory Story of the Tyne and the interactive Science Maze.
