Horniman Museum

Natural HistoryMusicChildrenClosed · Opens 10amFreeForest Hill

El Horniman Museum es un tesoro del sur de Londres: una parte museo de historia natural, otra parte colección de culturas del mundo y otra parte archivo de instrumentos musicales, todo ello envuelto en un precioso edificio Art Nouveau rodeado de 16 acres de jardines en la ladera de una colina. La famosa morsa disecada, algo rellena en exceso, es una mascota muy querida, el acuario es sorprendentemente bueno y la galería interactiva de música permite tocar de verdad instrumentos de todo el mundo. El antídoto perfecto frente a los museos abarrotados del centro de Londres.
