The Glasshouse, a modern building, quickly became one of Newcastle's icons when it opened in 2004. It stands on the banks of the River Tyne on the Gateshead side of the town between the Swing Bridge and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge.

The Glasshouse serves as the city's main concert hall and international centre for music education.
