Preston Park Museum and Grounds has hosted an animated 3D film projected on its façade to celebrate its official re-launch following a £7m revamp.

Hundreds turned up to view the night time animation, entitled Lustre, which centred around the hall and its hidden secrets.

The restored museum now has a complete redisplay of its collections, an interactive Victorian street and a traditional walled kitchen garden and orchard.

The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and Stockton Borough Council funded the two-year transformation.

HLF trustee and committee member Richard Morris said: "The stunning projection reflected the journey the museum has made and explores the borough's rich heritage.

"It was an appropriate and creative way to remember the history of the hall, its people, and above all Stockton's great story as the popular attraction it will certainly be."
