The Maurice Egerton Exhibition

The Maurice Egerton Exhibition relates to the life and passion of Maurice, the fourth and last Baron Egerton of Tatton (1874 – 1958). A pioneer aviator, car enthusiast, traveller and natural historian, he collected extraordinary items from around the world, many of which are now on display in this exciting exhibition.

The display reflects the countries visited by Lord Egerton including ivory puzzle balls from China, a model kayak from the Yukon, musical instruments from Africa and North America and a collection of spears, weaponry and knives from different cultures, including wrist knives from Kenya.

In addition to the items he collected, extracts from his diaries along with copious lists from his expeditions and even archive film footage of Lord Egerton himself are on display.
