There are over 350,000 objects in the Horniman Collection.

Founded in 1901 by Frederick John Horniman, heir to the world’s biggest tea-trading business, the museum first housed Frederick’s eclectic collection of objects from around the world. But the collection slowly grew adding to the museum’s core focus on  Anthropology, Musical Instruments and Natural History, making it a local favourite and an institution of world renown.
