EDUCATION

Our Objective for Education at the Powell-Cotton Museum

"in trust for the enjoyment of visitors and the benefit of students"

Our founder’s wish was to enable people to develop a richer understanding of African cultures and natural history and from there the world in general.

Education at the Powell-Cotton Museum in Kent supports a wide range of learners including families, school visitors and academics. This is achievable through our unparalleled displays of African wildlife and world class collection of objects from across Africa and Asia.

Education at the Powell-Cotton Museum provides a learning environment that is family friendly and still supportive of continuing research in the natural and social sciences.

The diversity of our collections and our flexibility in approach are our core strengths: we can organise anything from mask-making sessions for infants through to full study days for university students.

Everyone is welcome at the Powell-Cotton Museum and we do all we can to open your eyes to the possibilities for learning within our galleries, house and garden. We have some suggested topics for study within our resources section but they are neither exhaustive nor prescriptive.

Family Activities

We have events and activities throughout our summer months to provide entertainment for our family visitors.  Our special events page has the latest news.
