A lovely and well-kept museum in the centre of Norwich!

We visited on a Saturday morning and had a great time exploring the space, reading the materials, watching the TV programmes and playing with all the little games for children! I was surprised by the dimensions of the place - you would never tell from the outside but the museum develops over two floors! The little chemist section was particularly intriguing!

Overall, lovely experience! I'd definitely recommend visiting, especially if you have kids with you! ☺️

I have lived in Norwich for a long time but hadn’t got round to visiting this gem of a museum until recently. It’s full of interesting exhibits and information about Norwich as well as the history of the Bridewell itself. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn more about Norwich’s history

We got complimentary tickets when we bought the tickets to the castle. Was a very interesting museum as they showed many aspects of the life from the old times from hundreds years ago to recent years. Worth a visit.

The Norwich Museum is a small yet well-designed institution that offers an outstanding collection of exhibits. The layout is intuitive and allows visitors to easily follow a clear route through the museum, taking in all of the amazing displays along the way. The exhibitions themselves are extremely well done and offer an in-depth look at the history and culture of the area. Whether you're a local or a tourist, you're sure to be impressed by what the museum has to offer. I would definitely recommend a visit to this awesome museum

Fascinating history of the city that has now been my home for over 40 years. Too much to see in one visit - we'll be making good use of our Museum Passes !
