Warwickshire Museum collects objects and items that relate to archaeology, natural history, social history and geology. Today, the museum concentrates on locally collected items or those with a strong Warwickshire connection. However, in the past, collecting activities resulted in the acquisition of many exotic specimens, from further afield. These pages provide a taste of collecting, past and present.
