Cromer Museum
Cromer Museum, East Cottages, Tucker Street Cromer, NR27 9HB
Discover the geological history of Norfolk’s coastline in these charismatic fishermen’s cottages.
Housed in a row of original fishermen’s cottages, Cromer Museum offers a captivating glimpse into the area’s rich maritime and geological history. Discover Cromer’s past as a Victorian seaside resort, including the scandal of mixed bathing, and explore its remarkable fossil collection, all found in Norfolk.
Marvel at the magnificent cast of a Mosasaur skull – a huge marine reptile that roamed the seas over 80 million years ago – and learn about the famous West Runton mammoth, Britain’s oldest and most complete mammoth fossil with selected bones on display.
Step inside the cosy fisherman’s cottage to experience life in the late 19th century, and admire the stunning portrait photography of Olive Edis, Norfolk’s pioneering female photographer. See her rare autochromes – early 20th-century colour photographs that bring the past vividly to life.
With its fascinating fossils and rich maritime heritage, Cromer Museum is a must-visit for anyone exploring this traditional seaside town.
