Lowestoft Maritime Museum and the Coronavirus

Regrettably due to Coronavirus it was decided to close the museum immediately and remain closed for the foreseeable future or until such time that it is safe to re admit the public.

The trustees and society members would like to apologise to all who had planned to visit during the summer and look forward to seeing you in the future.

Thanks also go to the volunteers who have worked hard over the winter completing the cleaning and maintenance program.

Welcome to Lowestoft Maritime Museum

The Museum is now closed for the Winter. Thank you to all who visited us during the year.

We hope to see you again next year, with the museum opening at Easter.

“What a wonderful record of Lowestoft’s Heritage.”
