A Study in Sherlock
The exhibition is open at Portsmouth City Museum, from 10.00am – 5.30pm, Monday to Sunday with FREE access to all.
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are two of the most famous fictional characters in the history of literature. Their creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is esteemed around the world for bringing to life the greatest of all detectives. Less well-known are the many other dimensions of Conan Doyle’s life: physician, sportsman, political pamphleteer, and Spiritualist campaigner, Conan Doyle had associations with many of the leading figures of the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
The Arthur Conan Doyle Collection, bequeathed to the city of Portsmouth by Richard Lancelyn Green, perhaps the leading collector of Conan Doyle memorabilia, brings together an unparalleled variety of books, documents and objects connected to Holmes and the life of his creator.
Visitors to the 'A Study in Sherlock' exhibition at Portsmouth City Museum will encounter many extraordinary items from the collection, including unique photographs, film posters, and letters from the influential and famous. The exhibition features interactive displays and a narration by the Collection's patron Stephen Fry.
