Edvard Munch s The Scream on the side of a brewery, Rousseau s tiger jumping out the undergrowth next to a florist or a 16th-century painting of a cardinal watching over a supermarket entrance.
None of these are views you would normally expect to see in a seaside best known for its crabs, but in Cromer, highly regarded pieces of art normally found hanging in some of the world s most famous museums have been popping up on street corners.

Mrs Bütikofer said the council had set up a team to look at issues around an expected increase in summer tourists brought on by the the coronavirus restrictions on traveling abroad.
She said there were absolutely lessons learned from last summer, and the council was planning to put in extra litter bins and empty them more regularly.
Mrs Bütikofer said: Because people are not able to sit in cafes as much as they would like you get a lot more takeaway litter. People feel safer outside but it s important to have the litter facilities there.

A seaside town church has announced it will hold a civic service to remember Prince Philip, who died yesterday aged 99.
The service at Cromer Parish Church will take place at 3pm on Sunday April 11, led by town vicar reverend Will Warren and attended by town mayor, councillor Richard Leeds.
A live stream of the event will be available for members of the public to view on the church YouTube channel.
The service can be attended in person, however there are limited numbers and face masks, social distancing and the completion of test and trace registers will be required.
Looking forward, Mr Adams said there was no room for complacency.
He said: I m confident it s going to be very different but we re going to have a very nice summer, things are going to be very different. We re not going to have all of our events it will be more subdued but we re still planning for the future here in Cromer supporting a few events and our winter events, so we re optimistic that by that point in time things can start to get back to normal.
Reflecting on the year, he added: I wouldn t want to do all of it again, the impact it s had on people s health besides coronavirus has been significant and we have clearly got a big recovery to do, but we will recover.
