Thomas Knüwer

Beautiful architecture , interesting contemporary art - one of my favourite museums in Europe. Watch out for the vertigo inspiring installation in the staircase.

Pau

A must if you are visiting Newcastle . For the view , the gallery and the walk to it.

Dylan McKee

Super varied modern art installations. Check what's on on their website (or just turn up with an open mind).

Conor Harbison

Great view from the top floors, friendly staff , lovely building. Good for a laugh to nod thoughtfully at puffed up descriptions of pretentious 'art ', which is more creative than the works themselves

Fred Penda

If you are going to the restaurant on the 5th floor, just remember to book ahead to make sure you get to enjoy the food and the lovely view .

Arjan Tupan

Amazing views and exhibitions . Plus free entrance. If you have only a limited time on the Tyne, this is the place to go.

Pearson - Always Learning

This amazing old mill now houses an ever-changing collection of the world’s best contemporary art . It also has a tremendous art and design library .

Robert Armstrong

Beautiful building with beautiful views of the River Tyne..... as for the rest of it..... is it really art ? Just as well it is free!

Anders Mellbratt

Always great! Has now been going for 20 years! Happy birthday! ????

Paul Lambie

You could easily spend half a day here. Arrive early and finish in time for food and drinks in the bar .

Mike Brosche

Great space, 2 of the 5 exhibitions were excellent the others were a bit beyond me...????

Hannah Plath

The view over the Tyne from level 5 is fantastic! Especially at night, when the Millennium Bridge is illuminated.

Stephanie McLay

Although hot chocolate isn't listed on the menu I recommend asking for it. Very tasty.

Cathrine Myhre

Great view , great exhibitions and a lovely little gift shop ????

Ian Agar

If you come to Newcastle and don't visit The Baltic you are a fool of a Took! Awesome place.

Helena

Great view over the city , amazing gallery ! ????????

Jim Craig

Stripping off naked and making a mad dash accross the Millennium bridge and back will get you free coffee in the downstairs cafe !

Jonny Taylor

Take the lift to the fifth floor and then work your way down. Bar on the sixth floor as well .

LR Lim

One of my favourite places in the world. It has aged much but it's still beautiful to me

Sam England

Good cafe downstairs (cheaper than the restaurant on floor 6), viewing platform on floor 4 is the best - it's actually outside!

Bilge U

Significant façade. And mirror work at stairs is amazing

Donny Douchebag

Mega cool venue. Check out the infinite staircase.

Alex Wood

Put a video on a tv at the entrance so you can show them what everybody's missing

Will

Very powerful Anselm Kiefer exhibition , one of Europe's foremost post-war artists . The Exhibition spans 40 years of his work and includes the 2006 installation Palmsonntag (8 Oct - 16 Jan 2011).

Steve Cole

Restaurant is really good and not a bad price £18 for 2 courses

Jay

Interesting artwork, wonderful place to go to think
