Question of the week: Can you name a museum you have yet to visit but would like to visit very soon? "I have to confess – I’ve never been to the Horniman Museum.
It’s an anthropological museum, which has grown out of the personal collection of Victorian tea trader Frederick John Horniman, who began collecting specimens and artefacts from around the world in the 1860's, full of musical instruments and stuffed beasties and all sorts of wonderful masks and artefacts, and surrounded by some beautiful gardens.
I really have no excuse since the London Overground opened up, creating a direct link from east London (where I live) down to south London – there are also direct trains from London Bridge, which is convenient for Conway Hall.
I’m determined to get down there some time before the end of the year, while it’s still their 110th anniversary!"- Miss Alice
