Hove Museum & Art Gallery has undergone major redevelopment thanks to awards from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Regional Arts Lottery Fund, Brighton and Hove Council, The Headley Trust and The Friends of Hove Museum & Art Gallery. The redevelopment has resulted in a lift being installed, changes of floor level being ramped and improved visitor flow around the first floor of the Museum.
In addition the Museum’s key permanent collections of Toys, Film, Local History, Paintings and Contemporary Craft have been redisplayed. The new galleries will give visitors the opportunity to learn more about the collections as well as ensuring they are displayed safely to ensure preservation for future visitors.

My Favourite Toy
Everyone has a favourite toy. They inspire our imaginations, our play, and help us as we grow. In later years, they hold cherished memories and make us nostalgic for times gone by.
Whether it’s a teddy, dolls house or a transforming car, this exhibition celebrates toys of all kinds, from across the eras.
On display are toys from Hove Museum’s very own Wizard’s Attic along with some popular favourites, and others that have not been loved for some time.
Children and young people from Brighton & Hove have helped create exciting displays of their own favourite toys, celebrating our shared affection for these familiar friends.
