NileGuide Expert tip:
Don't miss the Jaipur gate, first displayed at an art exhibit in Kensington in 1886. Admire the handiwork. It was opened by Queen Victoria first!
Description:
A free museum which houses vintage toys and film making equipment, this Victorian Villa is a bit of the beaten path but worth a mention. Find out how film was invented and spend an hour or so looking around. Housed in an important Victorian villa, this museum contains a fine collection of 20th century paintings and drawings, decorative art and the South East Arts collection of contemporary craft. It also houses the Hove to Hollywood film collection and the Childhood Room packed with toys, dolls and other childhood memorabilia. There is an excellent cafe in the museum serving cakes and sandwiches for those overwhelmed by culture.
