One
of the most remarkable and fascinating features
of Beamish is its collections. A policy of unselective
collecting pursued in the museum's early years
resulted in a wealth of material relating to the
regional
history being collected. Our Collections Online
highlight an ever expanding selection from the
vast
object
collections
held at Beamish.
The
collections are not limited by date but cover periods
from the 1600s until the present day. They include all
aspects of social and domestic life, farming and
rural life, industrial and town life as well as transport
and advertising. Please select from the categories
