A modern naturalist curio spot, Paxton Gate is wonderful in the true meaning of the word. Framed butterflies, crystal clusters, dinosaur teeth, sea-life discoveries, and of course, a robust collection of taxidermy specimens, from springboks to pufferfish. Also of note: They offer an excellent set of classes and workshops.
