We called in there today to have a look around. When we weren't innundated with school groups, it was quite good! The main attraction was the Supanova hands-on Science section, but there were also sections showing things related to Newcastle's past.

The plasma ball looks great. I've a plasma hand featured in my sci-fi. Pity the museum is closing...
