Mr Booth was a freak of his time. It's wonderfull too see what he did with his passion for nature and animals. When you're in Brighton it's a visit that's worth to try and it's for free so you got no excuse. More

The Booth museum is a funny place, a real 'old fashioned' museum, full of stuffed animals in boxes.

Disregarding the picture of the pavilion... Its a fun little museum. The clue is in the word 'little'. Lots of little things in a little building with little space.. Mostly for little people (like children or taxidermy loving elves). Still, fun. I'm just more used to the grandeur of the NHM in London. Its quite difficult to lower myself to... More

Odd museum that is a good uphill 45 minute walk from the seafront. It wasnt what I expected and is full of stuffed animals and there was even a pickled cat in a jar - enough to give you nightmares. One little girl was asking her mum if the animals had to be killed to be stuffed and was it... More

Was a long walk from the sea front and not particuarly worth it once you are there. Case after case of stuffed animals, mostly birds, which to be honest I find pretty depressing. The history behind it all was, however interesting. More
