Museums in East Sussex

The Rye Art Gallery is located in a pair of historic buildings in the heart of old Rye, close to both the Landguard Gate and Rye Castle Museum. The collections include works of art chosen for their regional and, in some cases, their national importance and include a permanent exhibition as well as new works by local artists. You could say that the Gallery is both a traditional gallery and a museum of local art and artists.

There are two museums lumped together under the umbrella of the Rye Castle Museum. The more historic of the two is the Ypres Tower site. The tower is one of the oldest buildings in Rye; it was built in 1249 and houses local pottery, displays relating to smuggling, armour, replica medieval weapons, and a recreation of a medieval herb garden.

A museum of local history of this ancient Cinque Port town, housed in a historic Martello Tower at the eastern end of Seaford's seafront. The unusual museum building has been nicknamed 'The Tardis', presumably because the interior displays far more than the exterior would suggest!

The Regency Town House is a lovely early 19th-century building, located on Brunswick Square in Hove. This Grade I listed house was rescued from the modern rebuilding which affected many of its historic neighbours. It stands as a wonderful example of elegant Regency architecture, and a reminder of a way of life that has disappeared.
