Horsham Museum is widely recognised to be one of the
best local museums in the country.
Housed in a beautifully preserved 16th century
merchant's house and walled garden, in the historic
tree-lined Causeway, it features a wide selection of
local history and rural crafts, as well as a
comprehensive collection on the life & works of
locally born poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. The
Museum is also home to the world famous dinosaur
bones of the Rudgwick "Polacanthus".
In 2004 Horsham
Museum opened a new library resource, where you can
browse local history books at your leisure, as well
as "The Pod" - a new computer facility allowing you
to look up individual details on many items within
the Museum's collection.
The Museum features a regular programme of changing
exhibitions, both in the main gallery and in the
Arts and Crafts exhibition space, where items are
often available for sale.
