Portsmouth has a thriving visitor economy, a world class waterfront and internationally renowned museums such as the Mary Rose and events such as the Victorious Festival and international commemorations of D-Day. Home to Portsmouth International Port, a growing University and with a thriving creative sector and a wealth of heritage, Portsmouth also has a long literary heritage as the birthplace of Charles Dickens and the place where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote the first Sherlock Holmes novel.

Portsmouth also has significant social and economic complexities, and some neighbourhoods have acute levels of deprivation. We know that heritage and culture have a vital role to play in engaging with people and helping to address the challenges that our communities face. Throughout Portsmouth's long history and our finest and darkest moments, our biggest asset has always been our people and their stories.

Portsmouth Museums operate six accredited museums - Portsmouth Museum and Art Gallery, the award-winning D-Day Story (home to the Overlord Embroidery and Landing Craft Tank 7074), Charles Dickens' Birthplace, Southsea Castle, Cumberland House Natural History Museum and the Eastney Engines. Entry is free apart from to The D-Day Story and Charles Dickens' Birthplace. The service cares for a wide range of collections, including social, military and natural history, archaeology and art. The service also cares for the Richard Lancelyn Bequest Conan Doyle collection. The service is current awaiting the outcome of an application to be part of Arts Council England's National Portfolio Organisation programme.
