About

The Survive and Thrive project is an intervention by Newcastle University’s Museum Studies students in collaboration with the Great North Museum: Hancock. 

It brings together objects from across the museum in surprising ways through its exhibit, guided tour, and learning activity. From 1-14 May, discover unexpected connections between ancient tools, natural wonders, abandoned objects, and more!

Find the exhibit at the back of the Hadrian’s Wall gallery. Tours will run during the launch on 1 May from 4-5.30pm. See you there!
