The British Magic Museum opens in Norfolk
A museum dedicated to the treasured art form of magic has opened in North Norfolk, England.

This British Magic Museum houses one of the largest exhibitions of magic in the world. The breadth of displays is considerable, with a vast array of apparatus, ephemera, memorabilia, art and grand illusions dating back 450 years. Many of these artefacts are unique to the museum.

Visitors have the unique opportunity to experience the magic of a bygone age, as well as experience the age itself, as the magic is brought back to life.
