Born on this day: Annie Horniman, daughter and eldest child of our founder Frederick Horniman.

Born in 1860, Annie grew up to become an influential suffragette and opened a theatre alongside her friend WB Yeats. She loved cycling and studied at the Slade School of Art.

Annie was made a Companion of Honour a few years before she died in 1937. We take a look at her life and achievements on our website.

Annie Horniman was the daughter and eldest child of Frederick John Horniman and his first wife Rebekah. We had a look at her interesting life.

The Horniman recently completed a project with a group of young people of African and Caribbean heritage, working on presenting new works to express what reclaiming African history means to them.

Today is International Day of Clean Air and we are thinking about Ella Roberta Adoo-Kissi-Debrah. Ella Roberta was the first person in the world to have ‘air pollution’ given as a cause on their death certificate.

Her cornet is currently on display in the Music Gallery, to mark the progress through parliament of the Clean Air Bill, also known as Ella's Law.

‘A lot of the stories about Ella are to do with illness and I think it was one of her consultants who said to me “oh, I really wish they would focus on some of the positive things that she did”. She was an extraordinary musician for her age.’ - Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah CBE

We turn to music in times of joy, sadness, heartbreak and loss. For Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah CBE, it is incredibly important to her family.

This month’s playlist inspired by the Notting Hill Carnival, happening this weekend 🎵💃🥁

Music has always been crucial in creating a carnival atmosphere and throughout history, different spectacles have drawn on different types of music. A carnival’s celebratory mood has often been accompanied by undertones of mortality and magic.

Our playlist brings together evocations of circus parades, masquerade balls and partying, with the re-enactment of battles, and the conjuring of the macabre. The opening and closing songs, associated with Notting Hill, frame the playlist.

Tonight is International Bat Night 🦇

It might surprise you to learn that bats are a lot more like us than you might think... in fact, these nocturnal creatures are more closely related to humans than they are to mice. Some bats can even live up to 30 years old but, sadly, four of the UK's 17 breeding bat species are currently at risk of extinction.

We have lots of bat boxes in the Horniman Gardens and love to look out for our winged mammal friends as the sun sets. If you have a garden, why not keep your eyes peeled this evening.

What’s in a cup of tea? Our new temporary exhibition 茶, चाय, Tea (Chá, Chai, Tea) explores the many stories of Britain’s national drink, spanning millennia and connecting communities across the world.

Tea means many things – its popularisation and spread is connected to stories of imperialism and colonial violence, yet it has inspired artistic expression, cultural customs and national identities.

Enjoyed by billions of people, alone or together, with milk or cinnamon or salted butter – find out the complex history and myriad of meanings in how we consume tea today.

茶, चाय, Tea will open on 7 October in The Studio. Entry will be free. The exhibition is supported by The Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund – delivered by the Museums Association.

Strange Music Day 🎼

We have lots of unusual instruments in the Horniman collection, such as this glass armonica. To play this instrument, from Karlsruhe in Germany, the bowls are stroked with the hands. It's sort of like running a finger around the rim of a wine glass.

We have one of the most comprehensive musical instrument collections at the Horniman Museum, with over 9,500 objects in the collection, and we run Hear It Live! events to showcase the collection.

The Horniman Story

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. Our visitors come time and again to explore our free museum, take part in our activities and enjoy our 16-acre gardens. And they discover something fascinating and mesmerising every time.

Bring the world to Forest Hill

Frederick John Horniman, Victorian tea trader and philanthropist, began collecting objects, specimens and artefacts 'illustrating natural history and the arts and handicrafts of various peoples of the world' from around 1860. His overarching mission was to 'bring the world to Forest Hill' and educate and enrich the lives of the local community.

His travels took him to far flung destinations such as Egypt, Sri Lanka, Burma, China, Japan, Canada and the United States collecting objects which 'either appealed to his own fancy or that seemed to him likely to interest and inform those who had not had the opportunity to visit distant lands'. Mr Horniman’s interest as a collector was well known and many travellers approached him with specimens and curiosities.

The giant tuba that sits in our Music Gallery was originally fitted to the wall of the Besson & Co factory at 198 Euston Road as a shop sign.

When the factory was purchased by Boosey & Hawkes the tuba was installed on the roof of the porch there too.

According to a popular story in China, the first tea drinker was Emperor Shennong, who was boiling some water when the wind blew some leaves into the pot. The Emperor not only enjoyed the taste, but felt invigorated too.

The leaves came from the Camellia sinensis plant - otherwise known as the tea plant.

Lichens are everywhere. The blotches you see on steps and walls are lichen. They are the orange crusts on trees. In the clean air of the west of England, they hang in beardy strands from branches. In London a lot of them will look like chewing gum on pavements and walls.
