Description
Hove Museum & Art Gallery has undergone major redevelopment thanks to awards from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Regional Arts Lottery Fund, Brighton and Hove Council, The Headley Trust and The Friends of Hove Museum & Art Gallery. The redevelopment has resulted in a lift being installed, changes of floor level being ramped and improved visitor flow around the first floor of the Museum.
In addition the Museum’s key permanent collections of Toys, Film, Local History, Paintings and Contemporary Craft have been redisplayed. The new galleries will give visitors the opportunity to learn more about the collections as well as ensuring they are displayed safely to ensure preservation for future visitors.
Fully accessible, Café, shop.
