Woodhorn Museum, Independent museum in Ashington, England.

The Woodhorn Museum complex contains exhibition galleries, historical machinery, and archival spaces across a former coal preparation facility spanning multiple buildings.

The site operated as Woodhorn Colliery until 1981, when mining operations ceased, leading to its transformation into a museum opening in 1989.

The museum houses the Ashington Group art collection, featuring paintings created by local miners who documented their daily experiences through art.

Visitors receive a 12-month pass with their admission ticket, allowing unlimited returns to explore the exhibitions and participate in seasonal events.

The museum maintains an extensive collection of oral histories from former miners and their families, documenting personal experiences in Northumberland's coal industry.
