I remembered not liking the Horniman Museum as a child so I wasn’t very excited to go back.

I was wrong though, it is great! The main thing to see is the world gallery, focused on anthropology.

The Natural History Gallery is closed until 2026 so the museum currently feels a bit small - I wouldn’t expect to be there for many hours.
