Lowestoft Museum

Lowestoft Museum is a family friendly, volunteer run museum situated within Nicholas Everitt Park, a short walk away from the car parking areas which are at the front of the park. 

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.

The ground floor is fully accessible but there are stairs to the upper floor. Public toilets are situated close by the museum (there are no public toilets inside). There is a large playground for children nearby. There is a cafe next door to the museum and several others in the vicinity, together with a number of pubs within easy walking distance. Visitors may arrive by car, bicycle, public transport (bus or train), boat or on foot.
