The Munnings Art Museum

Sir Alfred Munnings (1878-1959) is a major figure in the great tradition of British equestrian art and celebrated for his scenes of English rural life in the early 20th century. Immensely successful, yet controversial, he became the scourge of modern art in his position as President of the Royal Academy.

Visitors to The Munnings Art Museum at his former home, Castle House, can explore the life and work of this prolific East Anglian artist in the building he called ‘the house of my dreams’. Chronological displays trace Munnings life and career from the Victorian era into the atomic age and a special exhibition looks in depth at his paintings of horses (until October 2016).
