Queen to open the Great North Museum and City Library (UK)"Her Majesty the Queen will be arriving in Newcastle next Friday accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh to perform the official opening ceremony of the Great North Museum and also to open the new city library. The Royal couple will be given a tour of the venue before unveiling a plaque to commemorate their visit. The Great North Museum has attracted more than half a million visitors since it opened its doors to the public in May. Newcastle University led the £26m project, in partnership with Newcastle City Council, the Natural History Society of Northumbria, the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle upon Tyne, and Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums."
