Happy New Year! Lowestoft Museum will be open again from 28/3/2026, we look forward to seeing you!
The Museum is housed inside
Broad House
, a grade ll listed building dating from 1685, which is situated within the grounds of
Nicholas Everitt Park
, Oulton Broad, NR33 9JR.
Lowestoft Museum collects, preserves, and displays objects relating to the history of the area and its people, and promotes awareness and interest in our rich heritage. The museum is staffed by local volunteers and is donation funded.
The Museum is probably best known for its important collection of 18th-century
Lowestoft Porcelain
but there are many other treasures to see, including displays of locally found fossils and artefacts relating to early man
(
Pakefield Man
dating back 700,000 years); local archaeological displays of objects from Roman and Anglo-Saxon sites; exhibits relating to
HMS Lowestoft
and
HMS Mantis
and Lowestoft as a fishing port; change and development of local industries; well-known characters connected with Lowestoft such as
Benjamin Britten
and
George Borrow
; a Victorian room setting with domestic items of the period and a
Cobbler's shop
; a
Doctor's surgery,
and display covering the local history of St John Ambulance; a  display of old
Toys
; items relating to
WW1
and
WW2
.......and many more interesting things.
We have items available for schools and can open for groups outside normal opening times by special arrangement.
Please note:
There are no toilet facilities inside the Museum, but public toilets are situated just a few yards away
