Museums and The Arts

Norfolk inspired many artists in the past - and it still does

Museums and Galleries in Norwich

 

The Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich, is a marvellous opportunity to discover parallels between masterpieces of Giacometti, Picasso , Bacon or Moore and art objects from other cultures. Special exhibitions are always of the highest international standard.

 

 

Norwich Castle Museum and Gallery includes a substantial collection of the Norwich School of artists (Sell-Cotman, Crome and others)
