Brighton Museum & Art Gallery
Use Brighton Museum to look beyond the beach through local history, art and design. It rewards choosing a few collections that interest you instead of trying to cover every gallery. Close to the Pavilion, it is a useful indoor alternative when a long promenade walk loses its appeal.

Directions and arrival information - Tickets and booking
- Tickets are sold online and at the door. Check any exhibition or event charges separately and verify resident concession eligibility rather than assuming it applies to visitors.
- Access and getting around
- The operator describes wheelchair access throughout the galleries, a passenger lift and accessible toilets. Mobility scooter users should contact the museum about the transfer arrangements.
Official access information - Visiting with children
