Come and encounter cultures from across the continents in the World Gallery.

Hear from our CEO Nick Merriman, Classicist Mary Beard, Heritage Lottery Fund's Ros Kerslake and the Chair of our Board, Eve Salomon in this video, about the new displays.

Over 3,000 objects from around the world give you a glimpse into other ways of life and a greater understanding of other peoples, places and cultures.

You can touch intricately tooled Tuareg metalwork, arctic seal and reindeer skin, or discover a digital coral reef at your feet.

Smell aromatic herbs used by Bhutanese ritual healers in the Himalayas, listen to epic First Nations’ stories from the Pacific Northwest Coast, and even play in a Lagos market stall.

What can you expect?

The World Gallery will show some of the ways that ordinary people live their lives and make their way in the world we all share.

You can find stories about contemporary issues such as climate change, migration and displacement alongside artwork and objects from ancient civilisations.

Over 200 people from our community networks worked with our curators and Horniman staff, including local groups, arts organisations, community leaders, international museums, academic partners and representatives of some of those who made or used the objects in the collections.

The Horniman Museum and Gardens is an inspiring, surprising, family-friendly, free attraction in South London’s Forest Hill. We’ve been open since Victorian times, when Frederick John Horniman first opened his house and extraordinary collection of objects to visitors. Since then, our collection has grown tenfold and includes internationally important collections of anthropology and musical instruments, as well as an acclaimed aquarium and natural history collection.

Unusually for such an important museum, you can see our collection up-close and face-to-face. You can even pick up, try on and play with some of our objects.
