The Powell-Cotton museum is for everyone

Current and future audiences, staff, volunteers, our local community, the descendant communities linked to our collections’ origins, and anyone else who wants to work with us and be part of our forward journey. We are currently closed whilst we begin the work to help us move forward, our ‘Reimagining’.
