Quex Museum - House and Victorian Walled Gardens - Collection Of Trophies - Powell-Cotton

Spring and Summer Diary 2011

www.quexmuseum.org

If the word museum conjures up images of boring days spent on school trips think again, a visit to the Quex Museum will change your opinion. It's worth a visit just to see galleries with animals from African and Asia laid out in the Museum's fine dioramas in what appear to be their natural habitats, there are many species and sub-species, too numerous to list here. There is also a selection of monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees. You will also see many artefacts from around the world, together with guns and all kinds of weapons. A visit to the house to learn the history of how it all got started is interesting. After you have had a walk around the gardens or gone to have a look at the Waterloo Tower, you can picnic or buy refreshments in the tearoom. A really good day out.
