Stories of Lynn - Museum and Old Gaol Cells

Museo | King's Lynn | Inglaterra | Reino Unido

El Museo de Stories of Lynn - y las Celdas de la Antigua Cárcel en King's Lynn es un museo fascinante que hace que la historia de esta ciudad histórica cobre vida. El museo está ubicado en un edificio que solía ser una cárcel, y ofrece a los visitantes la oportunidad de explorar tanto la historia de la prisión como el desarrollo de King's Lynn a lo largo de los siglos.

El museo se dedica a la historia social y cultural de la ciudad y su entorno, presentando una variedad de exposiciones y artefactos que reflejan la vida cotidiana de las personas en diferentes épocas. Se hace especial hincapié en las celdas de la cárcel, que ofrecen a los visitantes una visión única de la vida de los reclusos y las condiciones en la prisión durante los últimos siglos.

Un destacado objeto en exhibición es la Copa del Rey Juan, una copa ornamentada del siglo XIV que se considera un raro ejemplo de arte laico medieval. Este y otros puntos destacados de los artefactos ilustran a los ricos y a los pobres que dieron forma a la historia de la ciudad, así como el comercio y la prosperidad que King's Lynn experimentó a lo largo de los siglos.

El museo también ofrece exposiciones interactivas y programas educativos que permiten a los visitantes sumergirse más profundamente en la historia local. Con la ayuda de la tecnología moderna, como la aplicación Stories of Lynn, los visitantes pueden ser guiados de manera autónoma a través de la ciudad y el museo, y obtener información adicional y perspectivas.

La conexión entre el pasado y el presente es palpable en todo el museo, ya que no solo documenta el desarrollo histórico de King's Lynn, sino que también incorpora la vida de la ciudad en el contexto actual. Así, "Stories of Lynn" es un lugar para todos aquellos interesados en la fascinante historia de una importante ciudad costera en el este de Inglaterra.

A good local museum that caters well for the younger generation with interactive games. The gaol is a highlight and informative insight into how justice was dispensed in the past.

This wonderful attraction in the historic Town of Kings Lynn is a hidden gem. From King John to the modern era this place has something for everyone. From games and dressing up to eery prison cells this is a most go in Kings Lynn.

Vast een leuk museum, kleinschalig, met zo’n rijke historie had er wel iets meer te zien daarover mogen zijn. Ga niet zeuren hierover daar we te moe waren om het goed binnen te laten komen. Altijd mooi om lokale musea te bezoeken. Wellicht een volgende keer beter vanuit mij dan.

Wonderful museum! Beautifully put together. Interesting without being overwhelming. Old Gaols were enlightening too. The Old Hall upstairs is beautiful. Opposite the Cathedral, which is also lovely.

Everyone was really helpful and keen to tell us things to do both at the museum and elsewhere in King's Lynn. Lots of hands on things for kids. My 3 year old really enjoyed the dolls house and my 5 year old played the boat shipping game. The old cells were too scary for my 5 year old tho. He legged it before we even saw them. The recordings of 'inmates' banging and requesting to come out were too much for him.

A great little museum to learn about the town! Lots to see and discovery about the history of Kings Lynn. Not expensive at just under £10 for two adults and a child. The Gael was very interesting! And our 11year old loved the Mortal Kombat & Pac-Man games!!

If you want know about kings Lynn, it's history. Then come, see kings Lynn history at The Stories museum. Various things on display connected to a wide range of places in time. Commercial to councils (mayor's, councilors) and how justice was carried out. A courtroom, prisoners cells and tools of punishment can be seen here to.

The museum has two parts. The first one, is dedicated to town's history and has a number of displays with artifacts from the past. Everything is well organised and wach room has a specific thene. Also there are a couple of corners are dedicated to kids and have interactive activities. The second part is the old gaol and have displays and artifacts from the old prison. It is a bit sad watching the punishment methods of the past but since it is part of the history, we should learn about it.
