'Agapanthus' Quex House Birchington Kent England 1

Photograph from an album for Quex House, Park, gardens and museum at the south-east of Birchington-on-Sea, East Kent England. The early 19th-century Regency house contains oriental and English period furniture. At the same time Quex Park was established by the landscaped amalgamation of two farms, and includes a retail and craft area with farm shop and restaurant, an adventure playground, and a garden with a Victorian walled garden. The Powell-Cotton Museum, conjoined to the house, is an accredited museum housing nine galleries three of which display stuffed animals, of more than 500 African and Asian animals set against dioramas of natural habitats. The other galleries exhibit African artefacts, European firearms, European and Asian cutting weapons, European and Chinese porcelain, archaeological finds from Thanet and East Kent, and photographic records. The total number of artefacts has not been counted, although the ethnography items alone total approximately 18,000. The Powell-Cotton Museum has won awards including the "UK's most inspiring museum in 2014" in the Museum and Heritage Awards. __________________________________________________
