The Powell-Cotton Museum offers an exciting, fun and interactive day out for all. Join us on a safari and discover awesome animals in our natural history galleries. Journey through time and across cultures with our amazing collection of art and archaeology. Get hands-on in The Cube where you can handle over 400 objects.

Throughout the year, we offer an exciting programme of events and activities, as well as temporary exhibitions. There is always something new to see and do.

If you want a gentler pace, join a free tour to explore the country home of the adventurous Powell-Cotton family for over 200 years. Its relaxed atmosphere and character are immediately appreciated when you step through the front door into the hall. Quex House displays fascinating furniture, decorative objects, a beautiful library and an ornately decorated drawing room. No country house would be complete without extensive gardens and Quex House is no exception. Seven acres of beautiful, informal gardens are available for you to explore, including lawns, herbaceous borders, exotic trees, a woodland walk, and a historic walled garden.
