Art museum in London

Ellis Williams Architects converted the Baltic Flour Mill into an art museum, at a cost of £50m. It was completed in 2002.
The Gateshead Millennium Bridge by Wilkinson Eyre crosses the River Tyne to reach the museum. The £22m bridge tilts to allow pedestrians across or to allow ships to pass. The modern art centre is northern England's version of the Tate Modern in London.

White Sands became a national monument on January 18, 1933 by order of President Herbert Hoover. Efforts to preserve the area's brilliant gypsum dunes had begun in the late 1800's, but it was the enthusiasm of local booster Tom Charles that finally led to the park's creation. In his words "gypsum may be divided into two classes - Commercial and Inspirational. The former everybody has, but as for recreational gypsum, we have it all. No place else in the world do you find these alabaster dunes with the beauty and splendor of the Great White Sands".
