About Beamish Open Air Museum

The Beamish Museum is Britain's favourite open-air museum! A unique and fascinating attraction located in the county of County Durham in North East England. It is an outdoor museum set in over 300 acres of beautiful countryside, that aims to showcase life in the region during the 1820s, 1900s, and 1940s!

Winner of both the British Museum of the Year and European Museum of the Year Awards. It demonstrates the recent history of the region in a living fashion and provides entertainment and education for visitors of all ages and interests.

Things To Do

One of the most impressive aspects of the museum is its sheer scale of it. With a range of historic buildings, vehicles, and other artefacts that have been carefully preserved and restored to their former glory. You could easily spend an entire day exploring all that the museum has to offer, and there is always something new to see and discover. Especially with the influence of the industrial revolution!
