Collyer's pop-up shop

The Collyer’s pop-up shop is back for 2025 and is open from now until Saturday 3 January. Browse unique merchandise featuring one-of-a-kind designs inspired by the Horsham Museum collection.

Christmas at Horsham Museum

The Museum will be decorated for the festive season from Tuesday 18 November. There will be a family trail, starting on Tuesday 2 December, to guide younger visitors around the galleries.

Join us on Saturday 20, Tuesday 23 and Christmas Eve, for drop-in craft sessions where you can make your own decorations. The crafts are suitable for all ages and only cost £1 to take part.

On Friday 19 December we will host our final Museum Late of 2025 with a special Christmas event. The Museum will be open until 8pm with refreshments and live music from Horsham Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society from 6pm. This cosy evening in the garden is the perfect way to celebrate the season with friends and family, whatever the weather.

Cabinets of Curiosity: Museums Past, Present and Beyond

We are excited to announce our winter exhibition, opening on Saturday 31 January. Cabinets of Curiosity showcases some of the lesser seen and stranger artefacts in the collection. The exhibition will explore the Museum’s role in the town’s community, from its formation in 1893 to what the future of museums may be in the digital age.
