Story

Dorman Museum is a local and social history museum located in Linthorpe within the borough of Middlesbrough and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. From its official opening on 1 July 1904 initial thematical leanings were towards the natural sciences, although galleries of the local Linthorpe Pottery, work by eminent Victorian industrial designer Christopher Dresser and the history of Middlesbrough, have largely replaced this emphasis. The remains of the original Victorian/Edwardian collection of stuffed and mounted animals is now in a single room, the Nelson Room, and consists of various taxidermied birds in their original cases with painted decorative backgrounds, and a variety of birds' eggs.The museum was founded by Sir Arthur Dorman of the Dorman Long engineering company in honour of his son George Lockwood Dorman, who died of enteric fever at Kroonstad in the Second Boer War.It is one of two cultural institutions run by Middlesbrough Borough Council along with the Captain Cook Birthplace Museum. Having undergone major refurbishment and extension it reopened in 2003 and is home to a wide variety of collections.

Enjoyable time, very knowledgeable staff
Great place to keep kids happy for 1 or 2 hours. Free entry and small costs for additional things but overall cheap/free day out
The Dorman museum Middlesbrough just outside Albert park a very good park to visit but back to the museum set over two floors it shows you things from Middlesbroughs past from early man through to modem day a good place to for all of the family young and old it as a cafe and toilets and a model of the Middlesbrough transporter bridge
Brilliant for families who can then visit the Park nearby. My kids had great fun here when they were younger and as a struggling family back then we relied on inexpensive days out at places like this. Dormans in particular is an outstanding experience.
