Hightlights of the collection include pottery and stone tools from the South Charlton burial cist, the Farneky Bronze Age hoard, which was found near Corbridge, fragments of Bronze Age shields from Stamfordham and Aydon Castle and material from the Iron Age settlement of Greaves Ash in the Breamish Valley. There is also a significant collection of Bronze Age metalwork from Ireland, believed to be one of the largest in the UK.
