Fishermen have been launching boats from the Stade for over 1000 years and many working there today can trace their family involvement back centuries.
Artists have been drawn to Hastings for over 200 years, attracted by the quality of light, the dramatic scenery and especially the busy scenes they found on the beach - boats, net shops and the people themselves.
Our most asked about painting is Fishmarket on the Sands, Early Morning by JMW Turner, but we have a fine collection of paintings, prints and drawings that show both everyday activity and dramatic events in fascinating detail.
The museum also has a range of historic fishing-related objects which will be used to explore further the narratives in the paintings. This exhibition will show both change and continuity in the fishing industry and will be curated in partnership with the Hastings Fisherman's Protection Society and members of the fleet community.
A rare chance to see objects from the museum's stored collections.
Artworks may be rotated for conservation reasons. Please contact the museum for the current exhibition list.
Free / 10am-5pm, Tuesday - Saturday / 12pm-5pm, Sunday
