From the magical to the macabre, a visit to Moyse's Hall Museum really is a journey through time!

On the day of your visit, you can:

  • watch a short film on a brief history of the uses of this beautiful 12th century building
  • view the lower floor which consists of the town, St Edmund, and a famous crime and punishment collection
  • immerse yourself in the Suffolk Regiment Gallery which will guide you through nearly 300 years of historic service
  • explore the ever-changing historical exhibitions and themed events. Past examples include magic to popular and historic culture
  • enjoy the long-term display of a clock collection that forms the backbone of an internationally renowned bequest.
