The Sherlock Holmes museum is located in London,221 Baker Street near Madame Tussauds. We visited it on Tuesday morning.

Arthur Conan Doyle was a student at Edinburgh university town. He worked as a doctor at Southsea in England for eight years. In 1892 he stopped his medical occupation to write. He invented two famous characters Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson who were friends. For his detective work, SH used a pipe, a cap and a magnifying glass. He was a famous detective yet he practised other activities ( the violin,hunting…)

Today Sherlock Holmes is a prototype for other famous detectives (Colombo…)

The museum opened to the public on the

twenty-seventh March in nineteen-ninety.
