The Museum of East Anglian Life is where town and country meet. Set within 75 acres of beautiful Suffolk landscape, only 2 minutes from Stowmarket Town Centre the museum encapsulates a surprising variety of East Anglian Landscapes.

The heavy chalky boulder clay of the main museum site was difficult to cultivate until the advent of the iron plough and the Agricultural Revolution of the eighteenth century. This area then traditionally supported mixed farms of dairy, livestock and arable.

The museum celebrates this history in its displays and collections but it also protects the sensitive and ecologically-diverse land it has inherited.
