There is also a library on the top floor of the museum, which is shared between the:

Urban Observatory
We are working to make our cities smart and sustainable through real-time urban data. The Urban Observatory has the largest set of publicly available real-time urban data in the UK.
The observatory makes millions of daily observations through its urban sensors. It has more than 50 different types in its network, which can help us improve air quality, manage transport growth and traffic congestion, and prepare for climate change.
Through this urban monitoring, we gain better insights into how Newcastle works, and where we can improve.
