Great Britain: Norfolk & Norwich Museum, share ticket, circa 1838, #157, small piece with ornate border, blue on pink paper. Founded in 1825 by the Norfolk and Norwich Literary Institution to supplement their collection of books. Originally the collections were kept at a local printing office but by 1833 they were moved to a purpose built building in Exchange Street, Norwich. It was only available to members of the Institution and not the general public. In 1883 the City of Norwich acquired the old Castle and prison and converted it for use as a public museum. The private collections of the Norfolk and Norwich museum were given to the City in 1883 and the new Museum opened in 1894. EF.
