World Gallery

The World Gallery at the Horniman Museum is an ambitious re-display of the Anthropology Collection, designed to offer visitors a deeper insight into diverse cultures and ways of life. The central gallery has been transformed by reintroducing daylight through a reflective foil in the barrel-vaulted ceiling. With over 3,000 objects from around the world, many unseen for years, this exhibition provides a rich and immersive cultural experience.
