The Horniman Museum building opened on 29 June 1901, with the building designed by Charles Harrison Townsend. Since then we’ve changed, adapted and grown, but that original building is still standing, now 122 years old. #HeritageMW horniman.ac.uk/our-history/

Have you spotted any of the sundials in the Gardens? Each one is completely different and many play with the idea of what a sundial is. You can follow along with the trail on Bloomberg Connects, a free arts and culture guide. #SunMW horniman.ac.uk/story/horniman…
