Littlehampton Museum

The collection includes a wealth of archaeological material from the surrounding area including Angmering Roman Villa, the Climping coin hoard and features Bronze and Iron Age exhibits. We also have an impressive fine art collection featuring work by A. Plant, Leslie Wilcox and Henry Nibbs. Our focus on the social history of the town is reflected in the galleries where you can view some of our maritime collection and items which tell the story of the town from the Victorian era. Visitors may view our stored collections including our vast photographic archive of the local area by prior arrangement.
