Horsham Museum — Attraction in Horsham

Horsham Museum is an example of what a really good local museum and art gallery can be like. Currently it is undergoing a complete revamp with updated displays. There is pretty much something to engage everyone with displays ranging from pre-history through to contemporary.

This smallish museum only takes an hour to visit. I wouldn't go to Horsham just for this, but worth an hour if you're there anyway. At the time of writing, entry was free. The people on the desk were friendly and welcoming.

We came into Horsham for the Farmers' Market - all 3 stalls! With time to spare, we visited the museum and spent a couple of hours wandering around.
