The attraction’s usual opening hours on a Saturday are between 10am and 4pm, but members of the public were notified shortly before 1pm on Saturday that the museum, in Burdon Road, would be closing for the rest of the day due to “unforeseen circumstances”. The city library is also closed.
A Sunderland City Council spokesperson later confirmed to the Echo that Northumbrian Water was carrying out work on a water main in the area, prompting the closure.
