Presented by Baltic Crew this tour is an insight into how Baltic transitioned from its industrial past as a flour mill to a contemporary art gallery.

Uncover how Baltic’s heritage as a flour mill still is very prevalent in the building and architecture of the gallery and explore areas of Baltic you might never have seen before.

Ask at the Hello Desk for further information on where to meet, or listen out for the announcements.
