The exhibition will show facinating items from the Museum's archive - many for the first time. There will also be props and costumes from the recently released and critically acclaimed Hollywod film, 'The Lost City of Z' which brought Col. Percy Fawcett's story to a wide audience. This exhibition has been made possible by a Heritage Lottery Fund, Sharing Heritage grant.
