The Museum of the Broads

Bringing the story of the Broads alive

Due to thPreviouse impact of the Covid 19 virus, the Museum is closed indefinitely.

This has not been an easy decision, but we take the health of our visitors, volunteers and staff extremely seriously.

Please see our Facebook page for updates and further information. Thank you.

Help us to take our Museum into the future

Our collection of items from the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads is unique and our vision is for everyone to discover the stories our items tell. The Trustees have now purchased the neighbouring Cooke’s Staithe, and we are planning to re-develop the whole Museum as a resource and a visitor attraction for the future.

If you would like to help us realise our vision, please make a donation.
