His tiny museum in Bramber,  Sussex, was crammed full of multi-legged kittens, two-headed lambs and a  bewildering assortment of curios. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClosed in the '70s, the museum was  variously re-established before being auctioned off in 2003. It was reported that a £1M bid by Damien Hirst to keep the collection intact was refused, but in 2010 many of Potter's key  pieces were exhibited by the artist Sir Peter Blake at London's 'Museum  of Everything', attracting over 30,000 visitors in 6 weeks. The  subsequent dispersal of Potter's works has meant the loss of a truly  unique Victorian legacy. Here, perhaps for the last time, the collection  is preserved and celebrated with new photographs of Potter's best-loved  works.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44786844958899,"sku":"9781472109507","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17477324419781472109507.jpg?v=1762809371","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/walter-potters-curious-world-of-taxidermy-2318","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
