Founded by Edward Booth in 1874 the Booth Museum is all about birds, butterflies, fossils, bones and skeletons. Natural history is brought to life with interactive displays and ‘hands on’ activities. The variety of species of stuffed birds on display is magnificent and is a reflection of Mr Booth’s ambition to try and capture an example of every single British bird in existence. The birds are displayed using the Victorian method of ‘environmental diorama’ that sets them off in their natural habitats. There are also colourful butterfly collections with over 650 types on display.
Entrance is free.
