Description

The striking chequerboard façade of Marlipins Museum on Shoreham High Street fronts one of the oldest lay buildings in Sussex, dating from the twelfth century. Towards the rear is a gallery for temporary displays and activities.. Once a Customs House, the Museum now holds artefacts from the long history of the Shoreham area. It concentrates on local history with Sussex archaeology including examples from Roman sites up to the recent activities, such as Shoreham Airport, its silent film industry and its maritime past. There are always new things to see in this charming museum, in the historic town of Shoreham-by-Sea.
