The Museum of Hartlepool has undergone a transformation.
Opened on Saturday 28th June, the colourful new displays tell the story of a past which is packed with exciting events and interesting people.
As you enter, you are taken back 5000 years to the Bronze Age and introduced to the museum by Hartlepool's oldest known man.
From here you move through centuries of the town's past, ending up with the joining of the Headland and West Hartlepool in 1967 and a look to today and the future.
