Bowes Museum was built in the 19th Century by John and Josephine Bowes. My favourite piece in the Museum is the Maniacal Silver Swan. The Silver Swan is around 240 years old, since it was made it has been owned by several different people. Parts of the original swan no longer exist now but luckily the swan still manages to move and play the soft music. Unfortunately I have never been able to find the EXACT person who made the Swan.
