Brighton Short Breaks brighton holiday apartment is a mammoth advocate of Brighton Museum, which supplies a top destination for both the Brighton and Hove visitor and the resident for a number of reasons and not least the architectural wonder of the edifice itself.
Placed n the lovely lands of the Royal Pavilion grounds, its architecture owes lots to the heritage and manner of the Pavilions architect, John Nash, recalling and reflecting some of the nobleness and flights of fantasy that the Pavilion embodies. But its originations arent quite so awesome as the building itself once housed the horse barns for the Royal Residence, although mayhap the most breathtaking stables to exist in the United Kingdom!
As the top-notch Brighton and Hove Museum site informs us : ‘Brighton Museum was founded by local brewer and social reformer Henry Willett. He was an keen accumulator of pottery and porcelain and Mr Willett’s Popular Pottery showcases his accumulation.’
This is the fullest website for getting info on the opening times and limited exhibitions that are housed within the museum, but the most cardinal piece of information is this: Admission is Free! So another super way to spend an afternoon if the atmospheric condition isn’t the greatest, and a way that wont distort the handbag!
The museum is possibly better fitted to more or less older children as it doesn’t contain too many of the ‘child attention grabbers’ that so many other museums offer. However that is not to say that there isnt a wealth of material there to snap their interest – but a little and often attack might allow the perfect way to get the most out of this wonderful local magnet.
As you would ask there’s a of really good local chronicle encompassed within the Museum and on the top floor there are plenty of resources for retracing local history or personal family history – so another potential undertaking for the family to enjoy on a damp afternoon.
