Crome Off The Wall
Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery is celebrating a local landscape artist from the 19th century in the exhibition 'A Passion for Landscape: Rediscovering John Crome' (17 May—5 September 2021). John Crome lived and worked in Norwich for almost all of his life, and he created incredible artworks. From paintings to etchings, Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery is able to look after many of the pieces he made.
