The East Grinstead Society opened the East Grinstead Town Museum in 1976, using three rooms at East Court. The museum was accredited in 1995 and moved to a new site in September 2006.Notable collections include material relating to the Guinea Pig Club for former plastic surgery patients of the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead during the Second World War, and the associated medical drawings of Mollie Lentaigne.
