Bexhill Museum, Local museum in Egerton Park, Bexhill-on-Sea, England.
Bexhill Museum is a local museum located in Egerton Park, housed within the historic Shelter Hall building. The museum displays collections across four galleries covering natural history, archaeology, fashion, technology, and local heritage.
The institution was founded in 1914 by Reverend J.C. Thompson and Kate Marsden, initially focusing on local archaeological discoveries and taxidermy specimens. Over time, the museum expanded to include additional galleries covering other subjects and periods.
The Costume Gallery displays clothing and accessories spanning from the 17th century onward, allowing visitors to trace how fashion reflected the way people lived and dressed across different times.
The museum is located within a public park and is open to visitors Tuesday through Sunday. The galleries are small and easy to navigate, making it possible to see everything in a couple of hours.
One of the most interesting displays features a replica of the Serpollet steam car that competed in Britain's first motor race in 1902. This highlights the town's role in early automotive innovation and engineering.
