The Museum is housed in a sixteenth century building with rooms displayed to reflect the lives of families who have lived there. There is a Tudor bedroom and dining room, a conspiracy room and a children's room with replica toys. There are hands-on activities throughout the house.

The road where the Museum is located has 17th century houses - typical of Great Yarmouth 'Rows' - and a 13th century building.
