Hastings Museum and Art Gallery, Local history museum in Hastings, England.

The museum occupies John's Place, a 1923 red brick building with sandstone details, crenelated roof lines, and traditional oak doors.

Founded in 1892 at the Brassey Institute, the museum relocated to its current location in 1927, expanding its collections through substantial donations.

The Durbar Hall, originally constructed for the 1886 Colonial & Indian Exhibition in London, stands as a central exhibition space since 1919.

Visitors can explore three floors of exhibits Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with extended hours until 7:00 PM on Fridays.

The natural history section contains an extensive collection of local birds gathered in the early 20th century and important dinosaur remains from the region.
