Horniman Museum

ChildrenMusicNatural HistoryOpen until 5:30pmFreeForest Hill

Το Horniman Museum είναι ένας θησαυρός στη Νότια Λονδίνο - συνδυάζει μουσείο φυσικής ιστορίας, συλλογή παγκόσμιων πολιτισμών και αρχείο μουσικών οργάνων, όλα στεγασμένα σε ένα όμορφο κτίριο εποχής Art Nouveau, μέσα σε 16 στρέμματα κήπων πάνω σε λόφο. Ο παραγεμισμένος θαλάσσιος ίππος (walrus) είναι το αγαπημένο έμβλημα του μουσείου, το ενυδρείο είναι εκπληκτικά καλό, και η αίθουσα μουσικής με τα διαδραστικά εκθέματα σου δίνει την ευκαιρία να παίξεις πραγματικά όργανα από όλον τον κόσμο. Ένα ιδανικό αντίδοτο στα πολυσύχναστα μουσεία του κεντρικού Λονδίνου.
