Visitors get a feel for the diversity of Newcastle and Gateshead by taking one of the two red City Sightseeing buses from Newcastle Central Station in the city centre. A multilingual commentary points out highlights, including BALTIC and The Sage.
American composer, writer and artist John Cage has made a huge contribution to the international creative scene, but this exhibition at Newcastle's Baltic Centre concentrates on his artworks. On show are some of the best of his hundreds of paintings.
