Among the permanent exhibits are archaeological finds, Iron Age pottery, Romano-British finds, and Victorian nostalgia.
The museum is operated by the Crawley Museum Society, who also operate the restored Ifield Watermill.
The Crawley Museum Centre is housed in Goff Park House, built by banker Edwin Henty in 1882. Next to the museum is Goffs Manor, a beautiful 16th-century half-timbered farm building now converted into a public house and restaurant.
