For the first time a substantial exhibition on the legendary Torquay-born explorer, Col. Percy Harrison Fawcett, will chart his incredible search for 'The Lost City of Z' in the Amazon jungle. 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.
