What to see  

Brighton Museum houses one of the most important and eclectic collections outside national institutions.


As you wander through the museum you are encouraged to get involved with interactive displays and dynamic and innovative galleries, created as part of a £10million redevelopment in 2001/02 which transformed the building.


  • Explore the world of Art Nouveau in the dazzling 20th Century Decorative Art & Design gallery
  • Visit Mr Willett's Popular Pottery gallery and find out just why his pottery was so popular!
  • Take a journey through Brighton’s rich and colourful history in the Images of Brighton and Exploring Brighton galleries
  • Our Fashion & Style gallery explores fashion through the ages from Regency to modern day
  • The Performance gallery brings you celebrations from around the world with puppets, masks, costume and musical instruments.
  • How do we see ourselves? The Body gallery takes a closer look.
  • There are three galleries devoted to Fine Art and one of the country’s most significant collections of World Art including objects from Africa, Asia, the Pacific and the Americas. Please note- the World Art Gallery closes for redevelopment on 3 January and will reopen on 23 June 2012 presenting World Stories. 

There is lots to do for all ages at

  • family events
  • children’s workshops
  • talks and tours
