Steve Miller, director of culture and heritage at Norfolk County Council and head of Norfolk Museums Service for ten years, is leaving to become head of the National Army Museum in London next year.

During his tenure at Norfolk, the 54-year-old has been responsible for ten museums including Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery, Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse, and Great Yarmouth's Time and Tide Museum. He oversaw the multi-million-pound Royal Palace Reborn project, which redeveloped the Grade I-listed Norwich Castle Keep following a significant grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. He was made an MBE in the 2024 New Year Honours for services to heritage and tourism.

Miller said the National Army Museum has 'an outstanding reputation for bringing the history of the British Army to life through the stories of those who have served'. He expressed particular passion for the museum's role in supporting military museums and collections across the UK and developing that network more widely.
