Quex Park, Natural history museum and house museum in Birchington-on-Sea, United Kingdom
The Powell-Cotton Museum within Quex Park displays extensive natural history collections featuring animal specimens from Africa and Asia arranged in detailed dioramas.
Percy Powell-Cotton, an explorer who conducted numerous expeditions, established the museum to showcase the specimens and artifacts he gathered during his global travels.
The museum maintains a substantial collection of world objects, local archaeological findings, and collaborates with international institutions for exhibitions such as Namibian Narratives.
The museum opens from February through November, operating Friday to Sunday and bank holidays, with separate admission fees for adults and children over three years old.
The seven-acre gardens contain exotic trees, herbaceous borders, and a historical walled kitchen garden that reflects the horticultural heritage of the Powell-Cotton family.
