...of souvenirs. In the Summer months the Pavilion Gardens provide a green oasis in the busy town and you can sit on the lawn and idly pass the time. If you walk along the gardens you will also see the imposing building that was once the royal stables now converted to a large concert hall The Dome. Along a bit further is the newly refurbished Brighton Museum and Art Gallery. This is like a miniature V & A and Tate Modern rolled in to one with a splendid collection of modern art, furniture and fashion from across the world.
