Museum of the Broads

The Museum of the Broads is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich heritage, landscape, and wildlife of the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads. Established as an independent charitable trust, we offer immersive experiences through our unique collection of boats, tools, photographs, and documents. Our mission is to bring the stories of the Broads alive for visitors of all ages through interactive exhibits, educational programs, and scenic boat trips. We operate seasonally, with regular opening days and special events throughout the year. As a non-government-funded institution, we rely on visitor support, donations, and the dedication of our volunteers to maintain and expand our offerings.

Our facilities include four display buildings, an outdoor area, a gift shop, and accessible amenities. We welcome families, groups, and pets, providing tailored activities and discounted rates for eligible visitors. Our boat trips, including the steam launch Falcon and electric launch Marsh Harrier, offer a unique perspective on the Broads National Park. We are committed to community engagement, heritage preservation, and environmental sustainability, working closely with local partners like Richardson's Boating Holidays. Through our virtual museum and outreach programs, we aim to make the Broads' history accessible to all, whether visiting in person or remotely.
