Colin Pope, Tina Whitmore and Matthew Chatfield were the guests of Portsmouth City Council’s Cumberland House Natural History Museum, where curator Christine Taylor showed us around the museum and we learnt about ways to catalogue, conserve and display collections of delicate and old biological specimens. We also saw some amazing butterflies in the butterfly house.
This free attraction is just a few minutes’ walk from the hovercraft terminal at Clarence Pier, recommended for a visit.
