The Baltic Flour Mills on Gateshead’s quayside was built in the 1950s, and have become one of Tyneside’s many celebrated landmarks. The handsome building was substantially renovated at a cost of £46 million, and converted to a world-class centre for contemporary arts. At over 10,000 square metres, the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art is massive, and is home to some of the most important displays of contemporary visual artwork outside of London. The centre features four galleries, a lecture theatre and cinema, studios and workshops for artists and also a shop showcasing their works. There is also a riverside cafe and restaurant, which command stunning views of the river.
