The Bowes Museum is open daily. Closed only 25 & 26 December & 1 January.
Please prebook your tickets in advance.
We are undertaking a complex and painstaking conservation repair of the famous Silver Swan. This very specialised process is fantastically expensive and happens very rarely so we have made a film of the process so you will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to see our conservators in action.
