A treasure trove celebrating West Norfolk’s heritage, and the home of Seahenge – the extraordinary Bronze Age timber circle, discovered on Holme beach.
Nestled in the historic market town of King’s Lynn, Lynn Museum takes you on an exciting journey through the rich and vibrant past of West Norfolk.
The centrepiece of the museum is Seahenge, one of Britain’s most extraordinary Bronze Age discoveries. Dating back over 4,000 years, this unique timber monument was discovered on a North Norfolk beach in 1998 and offers a fascinating glimpse into prehistoric life.
Uncover remarkable archaeological finds that reveal West Norfolk’s past. See the gold coins hidden inside a cow bone since Roman times and explore a nationally significant collection of medieval pilgrim souvenirs.
