Its flagship gallery, Rebuilding Bodies and Souls, explores the Guinea Pig Club and the wartime work of Queen Victoria Hospital, alongside object, image and archive collections and a children's activity corner. It suits anyone curious about local history or wartime medical heritage, with wheelchair-accessible displays and toilets, and disabled parking available (visitors need a scratchcard permit for the car park). It's a Museums & Galleries attraction in Brighton, East Sussex, with East Grinstead station half a mile away, and 20 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays for those wanting to make a visit part of a longer stay.
