Meeting outside Baltic, we'll welcome you from our front doors, travelling over the Millennium Bridge, learning about the local history along the way. The heritage walk will explore themes linked to Michael Rakowitz’s exhibition in Baltic's Level 4 Gallery around the colonial history of the Quayside and surrounding area.

Baltic Crew are happy to answer questions throughout the tour, and there’ll be the opportunity to take photos along the way.
