Our Current Temporary Exhibitions
Our display cases are periodically refreshed, but we also have a regularly rotating showcase at the front of the museum, a rotating costume display and a roving community display case.
Tools of the Trade - a Watchmaker's Wonderland
Until December 2022
Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Do you hear the sound of the Watchmaker's Wonderland...? Glimpse the world of jewel hole makers, watch repairers and makers in our new temporary display 'Tools of the Trade'. This is a rare chance to see the private collection of a family member of Baden Thomas Ball, who worked as a watchmaker in Coventry in the '20s and later locally in Brighton from the '30s.
The never before shown collection offers an insight into an intricate world of tiny objects, precision tools and a steady hand!

ROVING DISPLAY CASE
What's in the Kitchen? An assortment of kitchen curiosities... Until 2022 Enter the world of the Victorian and early 20th century kitchen. From simple time savers to arcane creations of the inventive minds of the age. If you like a challenge, try to guess the function of some of the assortment before you read the labels... The display is currently roving once more! In 2022, it has visited Red Oaks retirement home, Henfield Library, Henfield Haven and is currently at the Evangelical Free Church. We are always on the lookout for hosts, so please get in touch if you would like to host a display at a public or private venue. |
