Hastings Museum & Art Gallery
Bohemia Road, Hastings, East Sussex
Hastings Museum and Art Gallery contains a rich and exotic mixture of fine paintings and china, the cultures of other lands and a contrasting view of local wildlife today and as it would have been 150 million years ago.
There are plenty of special features for children with fossils that transform into dinasaurs, a diorama of local animals, two Native American Galleries complete with buffalo and a display on the Hastings-born conservationist Grey Owl.
The most spectacular part of the museum is the magnificent Durbar Hall, constructed for the Indian and Colonial Exhibition of 1886, which contains the Museum's fascinating collections of Asian and Australasian material. These displays are currently beign updated, with the addition of new material from the reserve collection.
A Local Studies Sessionis available on a Wednesday. Please contact the museum directly for further information.
