An informative and interactive museum offering glimpse into the rich history of Norwich. Two levels of this museum are equipped with rooms that has its own thematic presentation. Visitors are taken from the Anglo-Saxon past, medieval period, until the post-industrialisation era, in each room. I personally enjoyed my visit to this museum.

Had a guided tour of the undercroft and it was very informative, with our friendly guide being quite the entertainer! This included entry to the museum, afterwards which was also very interesting. The museum is small but there is still enough to see. It's nicely laid out and there are some really quirky things to look at. If you have time, check out the flint wall at the side of the building. The craftsmanship is outstanding.

A excellent museum telling you all about how Norwich started and the people and industry that made it what it is today.. I paid my PS7.50 adult (Feb(2024 prices)and started at the beginning, The first thing you see is Samson a statue that used to be at one of the nightclubs back in the day, It's a great story on how it made and the story behind it, And there are lots of very old artifacts and how Norwich became one of the leading areas that made garments and clothes for everyone. The museum takes you right up to the present day as you see old chemists and grocery shops that used to be..

We always love a trip here! It's very interactive for children and really interesting, full of all kinds of treasure! The children (3&8) had a search and find sheet which they thoroughly enjoyed and the staff were fantastic! We will certainly be back and recommend it to people looking for things to do in Norwich! (The attached photo was a street sign for a taxidermist!)

Beautiful small museum Here I found an answer to the question why Stranger Hall called this way. We visited on Saturday (1 June), but it wasn't busy.
