Opens Autumn 2025

CENTRAL GALLERY, BRIGHTON MUSEUM

Free with Brighton Museum admission, members free

The Central Gallery at Brighton Museum reopens with a new exhibition all about people. Who we love, what we fight for, how we try to change the world.

Objects and paintings tell stories and ask questions about love, identity, connection, prejudice, resistance, challenge, and change. At the heart of it all is a question – who gets to tell the story?

Explore the themes, play and participate in the gallery activities, and tell us what you think.
