Why go

Visit for a science and nature collection that works well in poor weather. The museum’s whale skeleton and Barry the St Bernard give it memorable anchors distinct from nearby history and art institutions. These objects give children and adults concrete things to seek out across the galleries.

What to look for

Whale skeleton and the Barry the St Bernard display.
