Moyse's Hall Museum
The museum has themed displays offering opportunities for study and exploration based on:
  • Local history - Suffolk Regiment, Red Barn Murder
  • Social history - Crime and punishment, coinage, death, witchcraft
A permanent exhibition is 'Faces of Time', which shows a variety of clocks and paintings. Moyse's Hall offers a variety of events for children and adults.
 
For almost a thousand years Moyse's Hall has looked out over the Market Place of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk. It has seen many changes since it was built in 1180 and has had a variety of different uses, including a tavern and a 'gaol'. Currently it's a museum which provides an excellent setting in which to trace the unfolding story of West Suffolk, through displays which range from prehistoric times right through to the present. Moyse's Hall's own story is as rich and varied as the collections which it houses. The pages below invite you to explore this history including those of a grisly murder.
