Sit on the carpet, if appropriate (cushions available)
Listen to and engage with a sensory story
Experience and/or respond to a range of stimuli

About Horniman Museum and Gardens.

The Horniman connects us all with global cultures and the natural environment, encouraging us to shape a positive future for the world we all share.

Learn about their world-class collections and discover information about world cultures, music, different species and the natural environment we all share.

There is more that unites us than divides us, and this can clearly be seen when looking at the 350,000 or so objects in the Horniman collections.
