Dates	1896-
Person Name	Powell-Cotton Museum; 1896-
Activity	Major PHG Powell Cotton (1866-1940) founded the Powell Cotton Museum at his home in East Kent to house his increasing collection of mammals and ethnographic material acquired on expeditions to Africa and Asia. He was a pioneer in the use of the natural history diorama to exhibit large mammals against a representation of their habitat. At a time when photography was limited this was the only way of showing African wildlife other than in a zoo and from the first Major Powell Cotton planned his museum as an educational institution. The Quex natural history dioramas feature animals mounted by the noted taxidermist Rowland Ward of London. The Director of the Natural History Museum is a patron and the NHM has representation on the Board of Trustees.
Corporate Name	Powell-Cotton Museum
