That brings our trip to Newcastle to a close. The last thing I wanted to highlight was the Brasília of the North exhibition at the Farrell Centre. We kindly got a preview of it the weekend before it opened, so my photos of it are not fit for public consumption, but I definitely recommend it.
An exhibition exploring the ideas, personalities and broader social, cultural and political climate that underpinned the aspirations to transform Newcastle into a modernist city.
It runs until 1 June 2025, is – ̗̀free ̖́- to visit, and included in it are several large scale models of Newcastle itself as well as select buildings in it – if that doesn’t sell it, I don’t know what will.
