Some of you may have noticed the scaffolding around the Horniman or noticed that we have a couple of galleries closed. We have been working on developing a new World Gallery, celebrating what it means to be human. It will include more than 3,000 objects from around the world, works of art and fun things to touch, play with and even smell.


We want the World Gallery to be a place of inspiration for visitors of all ages, to promote tolerance, respect and empathy. Attached are a couple of artist impressions.


Thank you to anyone who has already supported and shared our crowdfunding appeal. We have got off to a great start but we still really need your help to make this a success!


Please share the link http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/worldgallery with all your friends, family, neighbours and everyone you know who loves the Horniman, and help us reach our target of ?30,000.


Thank you.

Thank you to so many of you who have already pledged and shared the crowdfunder, we?ve been bowled over by your support!


We still need your help to reach our target of ?30,000. Please continue to share the link http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/worldgallery with all your friends, family, neighbours and everyone you know who loves the Horniman, and help us make this campaign a success.


There are now just 7 days remaining for everyone to be a part of our World Gallery crowdfunding campaign. Don?t miss out on rewards ranging from tote bags to tours ? and we have just released two new benefits of a limited edition print and a behind-the-scenes visit to our store. The campaign ends on 7 November.


The World Gallery, opening in June 2018, will celebrate the wonder and complexity of what it means to be human, with 3,000 extraordinary objects from our internationally important Anthropology collection displayed in a transformed gallery space.

    • No they were created by a Hong Kong artist and became a craze when a K-Pop girl band became associated with them. They do limited editions and they've become a collectors item (Like Jelicat for adults)- I'm a bit ashamed that at 65 years old I know so much about them but they are very much a fashionable item. And I'm always interested in Popular Culture. Whover lost it must be gutted because I understand that when you buy one (they're boxed) you never know which one or what colour you'll get...so if the owner loved that one it may be very difficult to replace.
    • Are they a hybrid of teletubby and some other species?
    • Thats a Labubu. I suspect it was lost by a trend-following adult who had it hanging from their handbag. They're a real fashion trend at the moment and people collect them. I hate them they give me the creeps!
    • Went there for a drink must have been about 7 or so years ago, lovely building but the bar and the whole place lacked atmosphere, funnily enough just last week we were coming back from a walk in the woods and wanted to go for a drink before heading home, neither of us faniced the Dog and Duck (aka crown and greyhound) so I suggested Belair House but my other half said It'd probably be packed out due to it being Mothering Sunday. Which brings me the fact that on one of the posts here it shows they are advertising for an event on Mothering Sunday for end of May-which is the date its celebrated in Europe and the US I believe...odd. I'm saddened to learn its gone to **** It would be lovely if it was a nice cafe/bar not too fancy but with character.
