The Horniman Museum in South London has a host of exhibits exploring the cultures and environment of the world we live in. In the words of Sir David Attenborough, "This is one of the few museums in London that you can truly call a universal museum".
For over 100 years, the museum has showcased objects from around the globe, providing visitors with a window into the natural and cultural worlds. First opened in 1901, the museum's curators have travelled far and wide collecting objects which illustrate the everyday lives and spiritual aspirations of the people they have met.
Visitors can view the Living Waters Aquarium, the African Worlds gallery, the Natural History gallery and the Library. Sixteen acres of green space make up the gardens in the Natural World section, while new galleries for world cultures and temporary exhibitions open alongside the new café and shop, as well as an education centre with a hands-on gallery and music gallery.
