Brighton Museum & Art Gallery
A museum in the gardens of the Royal Pavilion, with highlights including Art Nouveau and Art Deco collections, fashion, and Dalí's 'Mae West Lips Sofa'.
The museum sits in the gardens of the Royal Pavilion and was originally an outbuilding of the Pavilion. Its collections cover 20th-century decorative arts and design, including Art Nouveau and Art Deco furniture and Dalí's 'Mae West Lips Sofa', as well as fashion and costume, ancient Egyptian artifacts, world cultures and the urban history of Brighton. It is a manageable size, and a visit takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Adults pay admission, and a combined ticket with the Royal Pavilion is better value. The museum is usually closed on Mondays, and opening hours are listed on the official website.
