About us

Friendly Footprints was curated by Museum Studies students from Newcastle University’s International Centre for Cultural and Heritage Studies.

Using the collections of Tyne and Wear’s Discovery Museum, we developed our exhibition looking at the ways in which everyone can make small daily changes in order to live a more sustainable life. We also looked at how this has an impact on climate change.
