A display will be launched at the Great North Museum this month celebrating the art and importance of storytelling.

Newcastle hotel guests will be able to see Culture Shock: An Exhibition of Digital Stories by People in the North East from February 13th to April 16th.

The show has been put together to celebrate the Culture Shock initiative, which is currently the world's largest storytelling project.

A number of mini-movies, pictures and animations will be shown on a large projection screen in the museum, sharing some of the experiences of people living in the north-east and the inspiration they have taken from local museums and galleries.

The stories being told will range from memories of old shipyards in the region to a person falling asleep in an open grave.

People who visit the Great North Museum during Newcastle hotel breaks can also learn about the history of Hadrian's Wall and come face to face with the skeleton of a tyrannosaurus rex.
