During each half-hour, the peahen will slowly rotate round to face the right. At the end of each half-hour interval a number of events will occur: Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places.

Though he hoped for royal patronage, and displayed, as was common, royal portraits in the museum, [4] Cox never achieved his goal. In 1773 a special Act of Parliament ( 13 Geo. 3. c. 41) authorised Cox to break up his collection and sell pieces by lottery.

There is a weight at the other end of the rope, which is lighter than the float, and this keeps the rope taut at all times. The peahen is initially facing to the right, and the pulley system will turn the peahen 180 o to its left in half-an-hour.
