Young People
Brighton & Hove Museums value our younger audiences. We welcome all young people to our sites. We offer relevant, meaningful, and enjoyable experiences.
Our museum collections can tell a multitude of stories, relevant to young people.

Our youth programme is
- For young people aged 13-25
- For those less likely to have access to arts and culture
- Created with community partners and marginalized young people
- A safe space across the city in our 5 venues and 3 gardens
- High-quality creative engagement
- A chance to learn new skills and build confidence
- A opportunity to make new friends, be creative and have fun
Young people have taken part in a variety of ways. They have co-curated displays, programmed events, or worked on creative projects.
Some highlights from the youth programme include,
Annual Photography Club with Photoworks
In 2024, young people took inspiration from a Rembrandt self-portrait. They created photographic self-portraits working with an artist. We displayed these alongside the Old Master at Brighton Museum.

The group has helped us develop our new community workshops –
Allsorts Youth
Allsorts co-curated a permanent display in our Local History Gallery. Objects chosen by the group, and films they made, highlight hidden LGBTQIA+ history. The group made flags for Trans Pride, as part of our Power to the People session.
