This private museum is a great place for hardcore vintage motorcycle fans. The collection of over…read more150 motorcycles has been up by George Harmer and his son, Steve, over more than 25 years. The motorcycles date from the early 1900s to the 1980s, and include scooters and mopeds as well. The museum is housed in a shed adjacent to North Walsham Railway Station (past the woodyard). There is a limited number of parking spaces by the entrance. As a private museum, don't expect fancy surroundings and posh curation: there are four two-tier rows of motorcycles and other memorabilia for you to browse at your leisure, with a workshop feel to the place. The owners are helped by a number of enthusiastic volunteers, who are able to answer questions. The museum has a small selection of souvenirs (post cards, mugs etc.) also undertakes private restoration work supplying both original and replica spare parts from wheels to forms for all makes of early motorbikes.

We did have to pick what we were interested in and walk through some displays we weren't necessarily into, but we had plenty of time to enjoy everything on offer. And boy, do they have offerings! Firstly I was impressed by the architecture as you approach the antiquated castle, then by the glass addition on entry which blend both old and new together. We started by walking up to the ramparts to view the city and you continue to see the seamless way they integrated the buildings on the staircases. Then we started at the beginning of the museum and enjoyed the banquet hall where there are hands on displays including fake food and clothing for children....or your inner child ;) Great photo op! There are continued interactive displays throughout the museum to enjoy so keep a lookout. As well as museum displays there are art galleries and although I'm not usually a fan of modern art I was intrigued by some of the artwork using mixed media. The museum really does have something for everyone's interests, military, archaeology, social history, teapot collections, taxidermy in landscapes, every era represented. I hadn't expected to see so many excellent exhibits in a museum this size. Norwich knows how to build a museum! If I ever return I will start my day at the museum and spend more time there.
