The Mo Sheringham Museum, Norfolk

The Mo Sheringham Museum opened in April 2010 and replaced the former collection which was housed in converted fishermen's cottages behind the main street.
The name Mo comes from a little girl, Morag, who lived in Sheringham over 130 years ago and the museum tells her story and those of other Sheringham people.

The Boat Hall displays showcase Sheringham’s unique collection of lifeboats, and historic fishing boats.

Visitors can peer into a fisherman’s cottage, and listen to stories of the miracles of boat building and wonder at the many crafts and traditions of everyday fisher-family life.

Diverse displays include the charming, colourful shops of Shannock Street, two changing exhibition galleries and the action-packed Sheringham Shoal Wind Farm Visitor Centre.

IN the viewing tower visitors can enjoy stunning views across the North Sea, over the rambling streets of Sheringham and to the cliffs and hills beyond.

The museum hosts a number of temporary exhibitions. There is a museum shop with a wide selection of items including crafts and pictures by local artists, and jams and confectionery, books on local heritage and nostalgic souvenirs.
