About this audio guide
This guide to the University Museum of Zoology in Cambridge follows its curators on a February afternoon in twenty twelve, when a staff visit to Norwich Castle Museum crossed paths with four men and a mounted rhino head. It reaches out to the Europe-wide trade in stolen rhino horn, a Paris museum's guards and an Irish gang nicknamed the Dead Zoo Gang. Best heard standing by the rhino skeleton in the galleries.
