and gallery themes.
The temporary exhibition gallery comprises about 80 square metres
of open display space used primarily for exhibitions hired or
produced in-house.
The museum welcomes approaches by international, national, regional
and local (Tees Valley) Cook enthusiasts, researchers, academics,
collectors, artists, craft workers and specialist interest groups
who want to display their collections, work or publicity materials
