Museums & Galleries in Sussex
The arts and culture scene in Sussex is second to none. And with many venues offering interactive and family-friendly activities, there’s something for all ages.
Art-aficionados can explore the renowned Pallant House Gallery in Chichester or visit the Towner Eastbourne, famous for hosting the Turner Prize. Smaller galleries, like De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill and Hastings Contemporary, provide inspiring collections of modern and local artwork in seafront destinations.
For those drawn to history, Sussex museums offer a journey through time. Visit the Weald & Downland Living Museum, where you can see what rural life was like over 1,000 years ago. Or head to the Tangmere Military & Aviation Museum for a glimpse of wartime memorabilia and RAF history.
