Victorian times, when the tea trader and philanthropist, Frederick John Horniman

internationally important collections of anthropology and musical instruments,
as well as an acclaimed aquarium and natural history gallery – all surrounded by
16 acres of beautiful Gardens offering breath-taking views across London.

including schools, families, community groups, young people and adults using their spaces, displays and a Handling Collection of over 3500 objects. This post
