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 impact of Covid 19 has hit the Museum hard. Instead of planning our re-development, we are concentrating on surviving the loss of visitors and income. Times are tough for all, but if you are able to give a donation to help the Museum, please click the button below. Thank you.

A map and directions are available on the How to Find Us page.

See our 2020 exhibition, ‘Wish You Were Here! Holidays on the Broads’

Find out how tourism changed the Broads. Discover how railways brought holidays to ordinary people, see some of the early travel adverts, find a surprising link to the hovercraft, and, in the year that celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Museum’s own waterside buildings, trace the history of staithes using Stalham as a worthy example. Film and a peep board too!
