The Museum of East Anglian Life is a social enterprise sharing the compelling story of East Anglian lives through historic buildings, collections and landscape. We aim to enrich people’s lives, encouraging enjoyment, learning and participation through our public programmes, training and volunteering schemes.

The museum is a space for people to be active, learn new things, look at the world differently, make friends and give something back.

We have four principles which are important to us

• Stewardship – We prize our distinctive and precious assets; our landscape, historic buildings and collections, people and livestock.  We will care for and show them off to the standards they deserve.
• Participation- We’d rather not do it on our own. We welcome all members of the community to get involved, be active and exchange knowledge.
• Social enterprise – We want to be a resilient organisation. We’ll be opportunistic and creative in using our unique assets and surroundings to help people fulfil their ambitions.
• Mindfulness – We encourage curiosity and consideration. Our work should inspire and entertain, be playful and thoughtful and help people take more notice
