See an 18th century representation of the funeral procession of Queen Elizabeth 1, prints of ancient Egyptian imagery and paintings by Edwin Harris on display in the Hearne Gallery.
The museum looks after more than 600 pieces of art, ranging from large scale oil paintings to small pen and ink sketches. The majority have a strong Littlehampton connection, perhaps depicting local scenes or sketches relating to local events, but others are more unusual, mainly pieces donated to the museum during its early years.
