Lovely time at the #BowesMuseum
Visiting #Piercebridge #RomanRuins first, so the finds from the river on display at Bowes were our priority
We chatted with staff to hear how the museum struggles over winter, with the vast majority on Sundays there for lunch, not paying to see the collection
We liked walking the exhibitions in the last hour, almost to ourselves, but wonder what future these institutions have during the recession
