Discover one of Kent's most distinctive museums
From tiny tortoises to towering elephants you'll be awestruck by the Powell-Cotton Museum dioramas. One of oldest intact large-scale habitat dioramas in the UK, and among the oldest and best preserved in the world, they contain over 300 animals from more than 150 species, in sculpted and painted settings of astounding detail. Built between 1896 and 1939, these displays are of enormous historical importance in themselves. Alongside the wildlife, you’ll also see cultural objects originating from the Africa, Asian and Oceanic continents.
