East of England - Essex

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’.

Hung throughout the elegant rooms of this Tudor and Georgian house is a series of carefully curated displays, selected from a large and significant collection of Munnings’ work owned by the museum. Visitors can get a sense of the working artist from his surviving studio in the grounds; and learn more about the man and his wife, Violet, from favourite pieces of furniture, photographs and personal items, all of which are still in place.
Knowledgeable guides are on hand during public opening hours, while groups can book an exclusive out-of-hours visit with highlights tour.

The Garden Café serves handmade, seasonal, fresh and healthy light lunches, sandwiches, cakes, savouries, drinks, and afternoon tea and is set in the tranquil grounds of the museum.
The shop sells a range of books and unique giftware, cards and prints
