About this venue

At Brighton Museum & Art Gallery your guests will truly be captivated by its eclectic collections, considered one of the most important outsides of Britain’s national institutions. With its innovative galleries with walls adorned with great works, it offers the perfect combination of history, modernity, art, and objects all in one outstanding venue. Brighton Museum & Art Gallery began life in 1861 in a few rooms at the Royal Pavilion. This early museum soon outgrew the palace and Brighton made ambitious plans to create a larger and more impressive museum, in 1873 it moved to its present site. Although it occupies land that was formerly used as part of George IV’s stable complex, the building was built especially for the museum. Indeed it was one of the first purpose-built museums in England. Although a classic Victorian town museum it continued to attract visitors during the 20th century. In the early 20th century the museum developed an international outlook and now alongside its permanent galleries, there’s a constantly changing program of displays and exhibitions. At the turn of the millennium, Brighton Museum underwent extensive redevelopment transforming it into the distinctive venue you see today offering a culturally enriched backdrop for evening events. Where else can you find ancient Egypt, fashion, and a Vespa side by side?
