Middlesbrough is a large post-industrial town in North Yorkshire, England. The local council, a unitary authority, is Middlesbrough Borough Council. The 2011 Census recorded the borough's total resident population as 138,400 and the wider urban settlement with a population of 174,700. Middlesbrough is part of the larger built-up area of Teesside which had an overall population of 376,333 at the 2011 Census.
In the suburb and former village of Acklam, Middlesbrough's oldest domestic building is Acklam Hall of 1678. Built by Sir William Hustler, it is also Middlesbrough's sole Grade I listed building. The Restoration mansion, accessible through an avenue of trees off Acklam Road, has seen progressive updates through the centuries, making a captivating document of varying trends in English architecture.
Via a 1907 Act of Parliament, Sir William Arrol & Co. of Glasgow built the Transporter Bridge (1911) which spans the River Tees between Middlesbrough and Port Clarence. At 850 feet (260 m) long and 225 feet (69 m) high, is one of the largest of its type in the world, and one of only two left in working order in Britain (the other being in Newport). The bridge remains in daily use. It is, a Grade II* listed building.
Another landmark, the Tees Newport Bridge, a vertical lift bridge, opened further along the river in 1934. Newport bridge still stands and is passable by traffic, but it can no longer lift the centre section.
The urban centre of Middlesbrough remains home to a variety of architecture ranging from the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, opened in January 2007 to replace a number of former outlying galleries; and Centre North East, formerly Corporation House, which opened in 1971. Many believe that there is a beauty to be found in the surrounding landscape of industry along the River Tees from Billingham to Wilton. The terraced Victorian streets surrounding the town centre are characterful elements of Middlesbrough's social and historical identity, and the vast streets surrounding Parliament Road and Abingdon Road a reminder of the area's wealth and rapid growth during industrialisation.
Middlesbrough Town Hall, designed by George Gordon Hoskins and built between 1883 and 1889 is a Grade II listed building, and a very imposing structure. Of comparable grandeur, is the Empire Palace of Varieties, of 1897, the finest surviving theatre edifice designed by Ernest Runtz in the UK. The first artist to star there in its guise as a music hall was Lillie Langtry. Later it became an early nightclub (1950s), then a bingo hall and is now once again a nightclub. Further afield, in Linthorpe, is the Middlesbrough Theatre opened by Sir John Gielgud in 1957; it was one of the first new theatres built in England after the Second World War.
The town includes the UK's only public sculpture by Claes Oldenburg, the Bottle O' Notes of 1993, which relates to Captain James Cook. Based alongside it today in the town's Central Gardens is the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA). Refurbished in 2006, is the Carnegie library, dating from 1912. The Dorman Long office on Zetland Road, constructed between 1881 and 1891, is the only commercial building ever designed by Philip Webb, the architect who worked for Sir Isaac Lowthian Bell.
Away from the town centre, at Middlehaven stands the Temenos sculpture, designed by sculptor Anish Kapoor and designer Cecil Balmond. The steel structure, consisting of a pole, a circular ring and an oval ring, stands approximately 110 m long and 50 m high and is held together by steel wire. It was unveiled in 2010 at a cost of £2.7 million.
Ми́длсбро — город, расположенный на южном берегу реки Тиса в графстве Северный Йоркшир, на северо-востоке Англии, крупный промышленный центр. Местной унитарной властью является Мидлсбрский Городской совет.
С 1889 Мидлсбро был город-графство в Йоркшире, но в 1968 году он стал центром графства Тиссайд, который затем поглощается вне метрополии графством Кливленд в 1974 году. В 1996 году Кливленд был упразднен, а Мидлсбро стал унитарной единицой, в церемониальном графстве Северный Йоркшир. Erimus ( Мы будем ), на латинском, был выбран в качестве девиза Мидлсбро в 1830 году, чтобы показать волю города расти.

Middlesbrough Boro Ironopolis
Trying to free up space on my hard drive, found some old footage of Middlesbrough I shot before I left (yes, I used a potato - very funny.) Decided to stick it on YouTube with a Ghostbusters tune behind it.
The Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and don't check pupil dilation. Paul Daniels is from Middlesbrough.
Every man woman and child should try a Parmo before they give up the ghost.

Alistair Hudson - Symposium Whose Museum Is It?
Alistair Hudson (Director, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art): Where Do We Go from Here? Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art as a Model for Alter-Institutionality
Symposium: „Whose Museum Is It?
Questions and Conditions Regarding Museum Mediation in a Global Context”
Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen
K20 Grabbeplatz
January 18 – 20, 2017
Panel 1. Museums and Mission Statements:
How do museums define their mission with respect to the public? How have museums changed in this regard, and what new concepts have arisen? How can the collaboration between academic research, education, and mediation in the museum be made successful?
With the aim of studying and disclosing the existing structures in museums and responding to the growing diversity and heterogeneity in the ways of life exhibited in society, the symposium thought about new forms of mediating art and showing/illustrating cultural expressions and artefacts.
A symposium in the framework of the research project “museum global”.

MAC residency national call - DASH Curatorial Commissions Programme 2019
Leading Disability-led visual arts organisation DASH is working together with partners Arnolfini, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern art (MIMA) and Midlands Art Centre (MAC) on a three-year programme of Curatorial Commissions to provide individual residencies for three curators who identify as Disabled.
DASH has been working with galleries and arts centres in England and Wales since 2009 to create opportunities for Disabled artists to exhibit and curate.
The Curatorial Commissions programme aims to influence cultural changes in the visual arts sector to support and encourage inclusive and accessible practice. Its long-term aim is to support the development of Disabled curators, so they can professionally evolve as the directors/curators/programmers of the future.
The programme will be linked with action research as part of DASH’s Cultivation artist development programme investigating accessible processes for Learning Disabled artists and Neurodivergent artists.
The project partners are currently seeking an evaluation professional to work on the evaluation of three Curatorial Commissions 2018 - 2021 - please see further information here at dasharts.org
