The Museum of the Broads

The museum covers all aspects of the Broads ranging from the landscape, industry, wildlife, people, holidays and boats and is open from Easter until the end of October every year.

Their Victorian steam launch ‘Falcon’, built in 1894, enables visitors to experience the Broads by water.

[2] The museum also includes the findings and equipment of ecologist Joyce Lambert, who proved in the 1950s that the lakes and landscape of the Broads were manmade.

The museum first opened in Potter Heigham in 1996, and moved to its current location at the Poor's Staithe in Stalham, in 1999.

[3] The museum is supported by their Patron, Henry Cator OBE DL, managed by a board of trustees and largely staffed by volunteers.
