    The Cromer museum is positioned in the centre of town and seems to be greatly improved since it's…read morerefurbishment and new frontage, which now opens into the main shopping street. Although the museum is small, there are things for people of all ages to appreciate, and throughout the year the museum runs activities for both children and adults. The museum is partially housed in some 19th century flintstone buildings, and there is a wonderful display as to what life would have looked like during that period. A life sized model dressed as a traditional fisherman, and various items that would have been used in everyday life, really takes the viewer back in time. This was no grand home, but similar to many fishermen's cottages that still stand dotted around the town which in themselves have added to the quaint character of Cromer. The museum houses archive materials, and anyone interested in seeing old photographs of Cromer may be surprised at the wealth of information available right up to the recent past. Show cases around the museum contain many artifacts from the past, from tools to fossils, and items owned by famous people who were part of Cromer's cultural or working history. One of the main attractions many people visit the museum is to find out more about the East Runton Elephant, the most complete elephant fossil ever to be found in the UK and there are some bones to be seen too. During the month of February the museum usually opens it's doors for free, which is always a good oportunity to become up-dated with anything newly acquired in their displays. There is also a small gift shop at the entrance to the museum. Access There is a lift and accessible toilet. Carers are not charged admission. Assistance dogs are welcome.

    We rolled up late afternoon on a long day out in Norwich and the friendly staff kindly suggested we…read morespend 5 mins in the cafe or gift shop so we could purchase their Twilight tickets at GBP2.50 which is a steal. 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.

    A small regional museum. The castle can clearly be seen from quite a lot of the city. Very nice…read morefriendly people, no signs from the city to say how to find the entrance.
