Norfolk Nelson Museum

For the Nelson Museum in Monmouth, see Monmouth Museum.

The Nelson Museum is housed in a Grade II listed Georgian Merchant's house in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Originally formed from the Nelson collection of local agriculturalist Ben Burgess, who was a life-long collector of Nelson related artefacts. The Nelson Museum celebrates the life and times of Admiral Horatio Nelson and visitors can explore his career, his famous battles and tragic, heroic death. There are galleries, with a new temporary exhibition every two years and interactive exhibits and games for children. There is also an extensive reference library available for researchers, by appointment. The museum is open from February to November, 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday and 1pm to 4pm at weekends. Admission is £3.50 for adults, £2.95 for concessions and £2.00 for adults. Family tickets and group admission rates are also available. ^[1][2][3]
