Ipswich Museum

This place is a hidden gem. Never been before and lived here for years. Went on Saturday around 11am. It wasn't too busy which I loved as I suffer with anxiety and being around crowds. Going into the museum your greeted with a welcome desk, a lovely little shop and a view of the museum infront of you. The staff are absolutely lovely and really helpful.

Me and my partner wandered around for a couple of hours! I was shocked by how big the place was. So many interesting bits of information.
I took quite a few pictures although it was hard to take some due to reflections and light.

This place has a lot to offer. Very informative and fun things to look at.

I read previous reviews which only gave a few stars and they are absolutely embarrasing. Someone leaving a review saying they fell down the stairs and the place is a bit run down?. What?

The whole of the museum was clean and tidy and very well looked after. The toilets were tidy and clean and even the gift shop looked pleasing.

A few more people did come in as time went on, but it's spacious enough to let people past without being too close.

This museum really was lovely to walk around and I will definitely go back!.

Nice museum not big but enough for spending good time and knowledge about anglo sakson culture. Not forget trial map for kids. Clean atmosphere and helpful workers

Free day out so get there before it shuts in August for renovation. Check the website for activity days during summer hols. I was surprised by the range of animals including a mammoth and giraffe. Some fascinating information about Ipswich and surrounding areas. Worth a day there and you really don't get anything for free today so you have nothing to lose. We loved it!

What an amazing gem hidden in Ipswich.
So many amazing exhibits with so much interactivity for the children.
Most definitely worth a trip to.
And it was free to go Into.

Great old fashioned museum with a real variety of displays but particularly eild animals and birds. There was also a great film on Sutton hoo and a display of a horde if gold coins found in 2008 dating back to Beaudicea. This was a temporary exhibit I think.

Family visit. Very enjoyable with interesting exhibits. We loved the place and the staff were very helpful.

Very lovely museum a lot to learn from and a must visit museum in Ipswich as well. The museum consists of three levels and separated into different sections too. You can take children as well and they can do some fun activities and learn about history war, nature and wildlife too.

It's closed for refurbishment until 2025

Supposedly Ipswich Museum will reopen then, but might actually receive some visitors if the local Council can be bothered to tell anybody this place even exists. Excellently displayed exhibits in traditional glass & wood cabinets, alike the national museums in the City. The red-brick building is impressive enough, but the interior is something else. Fantastic exhibits that are seen by a few who know that the museum is there, which cannot be many considering how secretive the site seems to be known to visitors to the town...
