The Dorman Museum has recently re-opened after a year long refurbishment. The general facility has been much improved and now boasts a cafe and full disability access.
There isn't very much in the way of pre-history. The are a couple of stone and flint axes and a copy of the Roseberry Topping hoard and that's about it really.
As for the rest of the museum, it's for anyone wanting to learn about Middlesbrough's history. There's plenty of interactive stuff, some nice fossils and a lovely collection of Linthorpe pottery.
All in all a visit to the 'Dormans' along with a walk through Albert Park is a good way to spend half a day.
