The museum holds a fascinating, world class collection reflecting the African adventures of the Victorian explorer and naturalist, Major PHG Powell-Cotton. Stunning dioramas of the wildlife, and galleries full of the artefacts, jewellery, costume of Africa are complemented by displays of weaponry, European and Far Eastern porcelain and local archaeology. Guides are in attendance in the six rooms of Quex House that are open to the public. The Victorian walled garden, with restored Victorian glasshouses, exotic plants and peacocks is not to be missed. The woodland walk reveals a wildlife pond and children’s maze.
