Journeys of Discovery

The Projects

Captain Cook‘s journeys of exploration around the world are the inspiration for young people to go on their own voyage through the North East’s outstanding world culture collections, and interpret what they mean for us now.  Using digital technology and social media, people around the world with an interest, opinion or experience, can add to each object’s story. 

Journeys of Discovery gives young people, the VIP opportunity to remix our region’s world culture collections and create exhibitions and events across our region in ways that have never been tried before by museums.
