If you're a fan of the work of Georges-Pierre Seurat, you're sure to enjoy the 1884 Neo-Impressionism painting, "The Couple" (original title: Un dimanche après-midi sur l'île de la Grande Jatte). Does it somehow look familiar? This was a study for A Sunday on the Island of la Grande Jatte! "This work is one of many that Georges-Pierre Seurat made in preparation for a much larger painting. The woman's stiff posture is accentuated by her tightly buttoned jacket and the exaggerated bustle of her skirt, which echoes the curve of her parasol. Given that the area of Paris depicted here was known for prostitution, it has been suggested that the woman is a sex worker on the arm of a male client." Give yourself several hours if you plan to take in the entire collection. If you are fortunate enough to live nearby and can visit often, take your time and you're sure to fall in love with one of the many wonderfully curated items found within the museum walls.

This is fascinating Museum housed in original WOrld War II buildings on Parham Airfield, where…read moreAmerican Airmen were based during the war. There are a huge number of artefacts, and every time I go I manage to see and learn new things. The Museum is run by keen volunteers who are happy to guide you round or answer any questions. There is a nice little tearoom which also sells souvenirs and often has wartime music or films playing in it. There are sometimes sandwiches for sale, but no other meals, just snacks like crisps, sweets, biscuits. The souvernirs are VERY CHEAP- lots for under £1. There is also an underground bunker which is open during high season which has been built as an exact replica of one found recently a few miles away at Stratford St Andrew- you can walk through this and see how Britain's Secret Army lived and trained, with original memorabilia such as food and bomb making equipment housed in the bunker. This is very popular with the children, but the main WWII museum part is probably more suitable to adults due to the nature of the exhibits- lots of written displays etc. There are outside picnic tables which are lovely in summer but can get very windy due to the barren and flat surroundings. BEST OF ALL, ENTRANCE TO THE MUSEUM IS FREE- but the Museum does rely on donations to be able to survive. Do play the Museum a visit if you are going near to Framlingham- it is open Sundays March- September and Wednesdays in July and August and really does offer a lovely, informative and evocative morning or afternoon out.

This private museum is a great place for hardcore vintage motorcycle fans. The collection of over…read more150 motorcycles has been up by George Harmer and his son, Steve, over more than 25 years. The motorcycles date from the early 1900s to the 1980s, and include scooters and mopeds as well. The museum is housed in a shed adjacent to North Walsham Railway Station (past the woodyard). There is a limited number of parking spaces by the entrance. As a private museum, don't expect fancy surroundings and posh curation: there are four two-tier rows of motorcycles and other memorabilia for you to browse at your leisure, with a workshop feel to the place. The owners are helped by a number of enthusiastic volunteers, who are able to answer questions. The museum has a small selection of souvenirs (post cards, mugs etc.) also undertakes private restoration work supplying both original and replica spare parts from wheels to forms for all makes of early motorbikes.

So I kept that in mind while reviewing them. On to the review. The volunteers here are fantastic, to include the one ex-RAF guy working the entrance, who I spoke with several times over the course of my visit as I strolled about. They have a good number of aircraft out on display, to include the very first Sea Vixen delivered to the Royal Navy, and is the only first generation Sea Vixen on display in the world! They also have a smattering of aircraft wreckage from the war, as well as memorabilia from the B-24s that flew out of the airfield near here. They also have pieces of German V-1 and V-2 Rockets that impacted in the region, but I almost overlooked them, because there's so many different random artifacts. One thing to keep in mind is that a majority of the planes are outside in the elements, so if it looks like rain, be sure to plan accordingly.
