Brighton Museum And Art Gallery Admission Ticket

I went to the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery to spend a late morning and early afternoon exploring the galleries with a family member. I liked going through the exhibition on the history of the Brighton and Hove Albion club which even though I am not a supporter of, was fascinating to see, especially the replica of the seats used in the previous and current stadiums, and the model of their current stadium which was in the middle of the room. The other exhibition we saw was the Biba one, which the other member in my group enjoyed since they had a personal connection to it. Even though it was in one room, it was well laid out, with examples of the outfits in the middle and pictures of the outfits and writing on the walls. The visit wasn't too busy and that was good as it meant not having to get through crowds and not having the visit affected too much. It is a wonderful place to go if you are in Brighton and you have free time.

There are a few interesting things here but I wouldn’t go back. The paintings were good but must represent only a fraction of their collection. The room about Brighton was sparsely displayed. I really wanted to know much more about its history. One room was given over to. New display about the local football team and another to Ben Sherman design. Downstairs were two rooms of Egyptology.

Ok, so it's great that the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition is on here on tour from the Natural History Museum - it's on until September, so catch it while you can. Also great is that if you buy an admission ticket for the museum (which includes the Wildlife Photographer exhibition), you get an annual pass for the museum included so you can pop in whenever you want - a really good idea. Slightly sad is that the wonderful tiled Regency tea room which used to be upstairs no longer exists, and there isn't a cafe at the museum anymore - a lost revenue opportunity perhaps.

Pay the fee and the place is your for hours . Well laid out in a quiet and informative building away from the hustle of Brighton . Staff friendly and helpful . So many great exhibits as well as rolling exhibits . SO much Art Deco and Nouveau . A good 2 hour's worth .

This is one of the best places we went to during our visit because the museum has so much interesting information about the region. We learned a lot about the history and culture. Some of the expos were fun silly, some more serious. Use of a lot of media, including music. And the building itself is lovely, old fashioned.

So disappointed with my visit, last went a few years ago & thoroughly enjoyed it, now it seems to be jumping on the woke bandwagon. Your loss.

Had free entry with Art Fund Pass. Enjoyed museum but felt there was too much on ethnic issues and history rather than our own. Enjoyed the exhibition on the "Mod" fashion and protests which was very Brighton. Felt that the curators had a particular viewpoint and not sure it was very balanced. Overall a very nice displayed museum.

Cant believe never been here before. We've been to Brighton so many times. Funny got there for the Mod Fashion exhibition. So glad we did as that was great but so much more here too. Fortunately the ticket lasts for a year. Its a great building too and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Would say its a must visit now.

Set among the Royal Pavilion buildings, this is quite a museum for a small town. We learned history of the city and tourism, viewed some lovely paintings of local scenes and went to a couple of very good special expos. The building itself is very pretty with quaint features.

A varied and thought-provoking little museum, we came here for the ‘Queer the Pier’ exhibition which was so considerately curated. I enjoyed reading about every single piece!

Good: A variety of different topics exhibited. It was interesting to get a look into the history of Brighton, especially the queer aspect. Bad: Everything was way too surface level. We went to se the mod exhibition and where thoroughly disappointed. Nothing of value was told and there were very little information about the clothes which seemed to be the main focus (what about the female fashion? Just a note that it was a black dress and nothing else). All other aspects completely neglected. Not worth the price. All over the place. Cheers and props for doing your best, but please consider the educational aspect of a museum more.

The Museum has a lot of very interesting exhibits, but little or no signs or guides as to where anything is. We came to see the Mods Exhibition and after wandering around for around 15 minutes couldn't find it, so we had to inquire at entrance. No wonder we couldn't find it, as it was on the first floor, no signs no clues. The exhibition was interesting but could have been better, it was mainly about clothes, when the Mod era was about a lot more, especially with regard to Brighton.

Disappointing, I’ve been several times over the years and this was my most recent time since having to pay to enter. Negatives: Many of the exhibits are the same they have always been, the pottery room was closed due to works being done and the cost didn’t represent good value for money. Positive: the new exhibit about human evolution in the local area was really interesting. We are a home ed family and I was hoping we could revisit regularly to aid different learning, needless to say we won’t be and travelling to London will be more value and cost effective.

A lot of the galleries are missing..its undergoing a renovation so maybe that's why ?... At £9.50 for what is left....its poor value..I'd wait a year or so.. Wouldn't recommend at present as very few display are relevant to Brighton unless we suddenly discovered some Egyptian tombs and an African tribe nearby.

£9.50, no concessions. I'm a tourist to the city and it'll probably be a one off visit to Brighton. I didn't spend much time there. I was mainly wanting to see classical art (fine paintings), sculpture, furniture, but their photography exhibition took up numerous rooms, and I didn't see that many paintings. What paintings they had on display was mainly seascapes, so not a great deal of variety or European paintings. Other rooms were costumes and world cultures. Costumes are usually low cost things to buy or museums rely on donations. The one thing that I did like was it reminded me how lucky I am to live in Glasgow, with Edinburgh under an hour away. And how much fabulous art we have on display, and entrance is still free to everyone: Scots and tourists. Tourists are not charged in my home country. I was expecting a more interesting collection on display. I assumed that with Brighton being a major city the collection wouldn't be so small and parochial. But of a rip off at £9.50

Located near the Royal Pavilion, in a building with beautiful, special architecture. Not very big, you need about an hour to visit it. It has several sections, but not very large. The most interesting seemed to me to be the one dedicated to ancient Egypt (although small), and the one with archaeological discoveries from the Brighton area. During my visit, they also exhibited a self-portrait of Rembrandt, borrowed from the National Gallery in London.

Went to the museum especially to see the ABBA exhibition which was very interesting and brought back many memories of back in the day! I managed to see some of the history of Brighton as well but it was uncomfortably hot in the museum so it was a short visit this time. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The entrance fee was £9.50 but you can visit as many times as you like over the next 12 month.

We enjoyed a very pleasant hour or so in this very peaceful museum. We enjoyed the visiting Rembrandt exhibition and the other permenant art galleries - it was a welcome lull from the hustle of Brighton and the blustery seafront and my young adult children found enough there to amuse themselves for a short while . Staff were friendly and displays inviting - If they had had a coffee shop we would have absolutely used it.
