Powell-Cotton Museum

The Museum at Quex Park began as a pavilion erected in the garden in 1896 to house the expanding collection of natural history amassed by Percy Powell-Cotton on several daring journeys to the wildest regions of Northern India and Tibet. Even though he was a hunter and collector all his life, from the start, Percy was also interested in the people of the countries he visited, and he carried back samples of everything from their daily lives and cultures.:
