Worthing Museum & Gallery — Attraction in Worthing

Free! But we made a donation as it's very worthwhile. Small and quite intimate displays varying from local history to some very beautiful historical clothing and costumes. The current art exhibition left me cold though. It might impress the locals but I'm a Londoner used to better. However, there is an exhibition on at the moment about the Covid Pandemic that I found particularly moving, especially as I was with my 10 year old grandson. For him, Covid will become as big a thing in history as the Great Plague. We are living through that experience and his generation will be telling his grandchildren about it. The display consisted of photos of various tradespeople and artists as well as everyday folk such as carers and shop workers who all did their best to sustain our nation, in their own ways, through this crisis. There is also a display of their shoes. Inanimate objects, yet they convey more than you would think about the personalities and aspirations of the wearers as they worked their way through the pandemic doing their bit, not knowing how things would turn out in the end.

Where to begin? The Museum has plenty fantastic historical exhibits showing some of the most interesting parts of the history of Worthing and the surrounding area. The history covers prehistoric, stoneage, Roman, Saxon etc all the way through to modern times. We spoke with one staff member, James Sainsbury, he is incredibly knowledgeable and was so friendly and approachable it really made the visit even more special as he spoke with such passion. The displays change from time to time so it is always worth popping back to revisit this wonderful museum. It's a great free day out with little ones, old ones and everyone in between. I and my family will be visiting again very soon and will be taking the grandparents with us so we can all learn more about the rich history of Worthing and it's surrounds together. I would offer a sixth star if at all...
