Small but interesting Museum. The building itself is interesting . When we were there Art and Design plus Fashion exhibition was on . Also exhibit on History of Brighton. Free entry to the Museum which is very close to the Pavilion

The museum and gallery are well worth a visit but they have recently changed who runs the cafe, I would give this a miss as there are plenty of good places near by.

Small museum that covered a number of topics but was not too intensive, a couple of hours is enough to spend. We really enjoyed it.

This museum has an amazing array of exhibits and artefacts and never fails to give the visitor surprises. From paintings by outstanding women artists to beautifully crafted Indonesian Wayang puppets, this museum should be on everyone's itinerary and it is set in beautiful grounds.

Excellent museum and art gallery, so many exhibits and the majority of it is free a family can spend hours in here, with lifts and a great restaurant with most of it being free!!! Great for that rainy day spend all day there, just for the price of lunch.

In the Prince Regent's stables, this lovely museum gives a glimpse into Brighton's past packed with quirky characters and artistic invention.
