Dorman Museum

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.

Great variety of displays and free entry. My kids love the childrens area upstairs mainly including the fish pond floor and have gone to many of the craft events here. Staff friendly enough and lovely clean tidy building. Definitely worth a visit!

Full of incredible information about the local area, it's founders, industries and residential growth. Vast display of indigenous and non-indigenous birds.

Brilliant local museum with free entry. Excellent time killer and good for the kids to mooch around. Great displays and a café on site. We'll visit regularly when in Boro on rainy days.
