Brighton Museum & Art Gallery

Set in the Royal Pavilion’s renovated stable block, this museum and art gallery has a glittering collection of 20th-century art and design, including a crimson Salvador Dalí sofa modeled on Mae West’s lips. There’s also an enthralling gallery of world art, an impressive collection of Egyptian artifacts, and an "Images of Brighton" multimedia exhibit containing a series of oral histories and a model of the defunct West Pier.
