Moyse'S Hall Museum

Have you been to see our 'Looking in Wonderland' Exhibition yet? We also have a number of related events going on this summer.

A huge thank you to the servicewomen and their families for loaning us these amazing pieces for display over the past few days.
We supported an amazing project created by our Bury St Edmunds Market team, local artist/teacher Louise Gridley and her students. We’re always pleased to support any project that brings generations together.
From QA Nurses to Wrens, members of the army bands and the last living spitfire pilot; we were pleased to be a part of the projects interpretation of the story.

Wonderful to hear Mary Beale’s piece ‘The Young Bacchus’ ('Child as Bacchus') discussed on BBC Radio 4 this morning, on loan from our West Suffolk collections to Lyon & Turnball for their beautiful display - “Bright Souls”: The Forgotten Story of Britain’s First Female Artists. Curated by Dr Bendor Grosvenor.
‘The Young Bacchus’ is usually on long-term display at Moyse’s Hall; with the painting returning to our walls after its one month display in the aforementioned exhibiti...on.
Young Bacchus isn’t the only one that gets to travel away for display with many thousands of people enjoying Beale’s work at the various professional places we loan to.
We’re very proud to care for such an important collection of work and Dr Grosvenor and Lyn & Turnball have been fantastic to deal with. So thanks to them.
