The Museum and Art Gallery is run & maintained by a public body NMAS (Norfolk Museums & Archaeology Service)
"Norfolk Museums Service was established in 1974 when the County and District Councils in Norfolk agreed to delegate their museum powers to a Joint Committee to manage museums through a county-wide Museums Service. The NMAS is now regarded as one of the leaders in the museum sector and is the lead member of the Eastern Region Hub (within the Renaissance in the Regions programme), a government-funded initiative to identify regional museum centres of excellence."

"Norwich Castle Keep was a wooden (later stone) fortification, surrounded by deep defensive dry ditches. The stone keep was just one part of the castle complex. There was also a fortified bridge (still standing but refaced and with a 19th century inner brick arch), a large drawbridge pit, a 36m deep well, stone gatehouses, workshops, industrial areas, stables and grazing meadows."
