Venue History: Gordon Powell-Cotton (1866 -1940) to house natural history specimens and cultural objects collected on expeditions to Asia and Africa.
Major Powell-Cotton was a pioneer in the use of the diorama to display mounted mammals in representations of their natural habitats. The Powell-Cotton Museum natural history dioramas are outstanding examples, unique to the UK, stunning for their size, quality and imagery. Today they still excite the imagination of young and old alike.
The world-class natural history and ethnographical collections at the Museum support the study,understanding and simple enjoyment of the zoological, cultural and ecological diversity of Africa and the Indian sub-continent.
"A lovely day's outing with so much diversity in the museum, house and gardens. Loved the fresh flowers in the rooms..."
The 15th-century Quex Estate was purchased by the financier John Powell in 1777 and the Regency-period Quex House was completed by his nephew in 1813. The house was remodelled and extended in the late 19th century. The beautiful gardens to be seen today were developed in Victorian times.

Wedding Trivia:
WHITE WEDDING DRESS AS TRADITION
The tradition for the bride to wear white began in the 16th century and is still commonly followed today. This is a symbol of the bride's purity and her worthiness of her groom. The tradition became solidified during the time of Queen Victoria who rebelled against the royal tradition for Royal brides to wear silver. Instead, the queen preferred the symbolism, which is expressed by wearing white. The brides of the time quickly emulated the queen, and the tradition has continued in full force to this day.
