Once a key part of Durham's cloth-making industry, The Old Fulling Mill is now home to Durham University's Museum of Archaeology.
The collections on display provide a fascinating insight into the rich heritage of the North East of England, as well as showcasing items from across Europe. Highlights include outstanding Roman collections together with Anglo-Saxon, Medieval and Tudor finds from Durham City and the local area.
In addition to the permanent displays, The Old Fulling Mill hosts regularly changing, temporary exhibitions and a lively programme of family activities at weekends and during school holidays.
