Friend Sue gifted Linda and me a pair of tickets to visit the newly-renovated Norwich Castle Museum: yesterday was our first opportunity to use them! The Castle has had a complete restructuring, giving a real feel as to how the place would have looked and functioned from its Norman origins to the modern era. The natural history displays and artwork are still present, but have been de-emphasized in keeping with current thinking: as birdwatchers, we found the stuffed birds as fascinating as ever, but somewhat moth-eaten and faded. The views from the battlements were worth the climb, despite the grey skies and drizzle.
It was an enjoyable visit (despite the lifts being out of order!) but would we have paid the regular price of £17 each? I don't think we would, to be honest.
