Teakisi are delighted to be collaborating with The Great North Museum: Hancock for their latest edition of Great North Night’s events. The Great North Museum: Hancock was purpose built in Newcastle as a natural history museum in 1884 to house the growing collections of the Natural History Society of Northumbria. Following a £26million redevelopment in 2009, (when the Hancock Museum merged with the Museum of Antiquities and the Shefton Museum), the Great North Museum: Hancock is now a popular free family destination with a varying programme of exhibitions, expert talks, courses and activities for children. It is managed by Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums on behalf of Newcastle University.

During this event we will explore the role of women through out history and look at how women’s roles in ancient cultures have influenced how women live today. We will look at specific aspects of culture such as hair, beauty regimes, and fashion and look into the significance and history of how these daily routine elements can alter how women are perceived by society and themselves. This event will have activities lined up for you including inspiring talks from…..
