Some big projects happening across our @NE_Museums venues this year with lots of announcements to come over the coming months. First up is the start of work on a big investment in the museum building and facilities at Segedunum Roman Fort, on Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site.
Good news. Segedunum Roman Fort is getting a new roof and ventilation system funded by over £1.6 million from @NTCouncilTeam @NorthEast_CA and @ace_national. The work is well underway. We're aiming to preserve heritage and boost tourism in Wallsend. @kmerrin
