A small but interesting museum packed with info about the history of Littlehampton and surrounding area. Good if you don't just want to visit the beach.
Excellent history museum of life in Littlehampton, with areas for children to enjoy too. Free entry but donations appreciated.
Great place, free entrance and full of local history, fossils, photos -they also have an exhibition on called Project Time Machine and features ration books, driving licences etc , all very informative and well laid out. There are audio descriptions for some items too. Small goft shop by the entrance. Not the biggest museum, but very informative about Littlehampton amd sorrounding area
This is a very nice local museum, particularly focused on the history of Littlehampton and its environs. Materials range from fossils and stone age items to WWII, with a good representation of the historical topography during Roman times ( particularly interesting is the Climping Hoard, alongside materials from the Angmering Roman Villa), some nice medieval material and a very good section on Littlehampton as a busy coastal town during the 19th century. Despite its somewhat reduced size, this is a thriving cultural reality with a solid outreach program, publications, and temporary exhibitions which complement the permanent display and keep this free-access museum interesting for the locals as well as the tourists. What more can I say? Just keep it up!
Small museum but very informative about the history of Littlehampton. From what I saw, it's mainly based on the natural sciences (fossils) and also the settling of the Romans, Angles/Saxons, Normans and how the times were influenced by these settlers/invaders. There are useful audios you can listen to while observing the exhibits. I found the Roman influence very interesting. I would say spending up to even an hour is enough to look around; that is if you like to take the time to read all the information on the captions around the exhibits and to properly observe. It is educational for children of any ages.
