Bexhill Museum was opened in 1914. The Reverend J.C. Thompson FGS and Kate Marsden FRGS were instrumental in the setting up of the museum and the Reverend Thompson was Hon Curator until 1924.

The museum was housed in the Egerton Park Shelter Hall, built in 1903 by George Ball. This had been a small entertainments pavilion for the use of visitors to the park.

The Bexhill Corporation owned the building and leased it to the museum as well as proving a small grant.

The museum was extended in 2009 by John McAslan Architects to house the Costume & Social History Gallery.
