We're delighted to announce £0.5m funding from The Wolfson Foundation for Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens.

The funding from the independent grant-giving charity will support new gallery displays and interpretation as part of the ambitious £13.6m planned transformation of the museum.

By improving understanding of the museum’s scientific and living collections, it will be used to celebrate and share the collection more widely — especially with young people, families, and schools.
