Quex Park by Dávid Jákob

 27^th September 2013

Last week we visited Quex-park. Quex-park is a big estate which was possessed by several families, but in the 1500’s it got to the Quekes family.

The Powell-Cotton museum can be found in the Quex-park, which shows treasures from Africa and real animal’s skins and bones hunted by the Powell-Cotton family from the end of the 19^th to the beginning of the 20^th century. Poachers killed animals as a hobby and it was accepted back then, but nowadays it’s a bit sad that hundreds of animals have been killed for their skins, to be shown in a museum like this.

The other part of the exhibition was the big house of the family with beautiful antique furniture and accessories from the Far East, and a huge garden where to our surprise we met with a good guy peacock.

In Quex-park a lot of events and even weddings are held. The estate is very big and beautiful, but the killed and stuffed animals, together with the skull trophies are ruining the whole place’s beauty in my opinion.
