Powell-Cotton Museum
The Powell-Cotton Museum is situated in Quex Park, Birchington, Kent〔http://www.quexpark.co.uk/visitors/how-to-get-here.html〕 and houses the diverse personal collections of hunter and explorer, Percy Powell-Cotton. The museum also contains the collections of Powell-Cottons’ two daughters, Antoinette and Diana Powell-Cotton, who shared their fathers passion for conservation.
The museum, which links to the ground floor of Quex House, now comprises eight galleries〔http://www.quexpark.co.uk/attractions/powell-cotton-museum.html〕 (plus 1 passage gallery) dedicated not only to the extensive collection of large mammals, but to many artefacts representing the cultures and traditions of the locations Powell-Cotton visited.〔http://www.quexmuseum.org/Museum.aspx〕
==Early Stages==
Commencing as a single room collection in 1896, Powell-Cotton gave the go-ahead to have a pavilion erected in the gardens of Quex House, overseen by his brother, Gerald. Percy enlisted the help of Rowland Ward, renowned in the field of taxidermy at the time, to prepare the animals for display. The former Fusilier had attained thousands of artefacts through his hunting and conservation expeditions.
Following Percy Powell-Cottons’ death in 1940, his son, Christopher, constructed more galleries to incorporate the family collections of archaeology (Antoinette Powell-Cotton), Anthropology (Diana Powell-Cotton), ceramics and weaponry.〔
