The Horniman Free Museum in South London
Today, we took the stop at tottenham hale to reach pimlico station and nearby it was the Horniman Museum (yes, laugh out all jokes and get them aside - saying this a certain way makes it quite funny).
The museum shares a very pre-modern look alongside an impressive mosaic work on it’s front. this mosaic work is representative of the flocks of people that will ultimately attain knowledge from going into the horniman. this is why all of mankind must see the horniman.
The museum featured rooms with displays and artifacts from fields like natural history, asian and african cultures, music and musical instruments and an aquarium.
The museum also featured a robotic animal show, called “the Robot Zoo” , which featured robotic and nematic constructed animals. the show, which i wasn’t counting on, wasn’t as engineeringly geared as i thought it would be. the show was definitely made for kids, feturing some interactive displays with a robotic rhino, a chameleon with changing colors and a squid race (Ellen V totally pzzowned me at the races). all in all, the museum had some good sights to see and even had a bit of fun mixed with it, which can’t do much hrm to anyone.
for lunch, me and gilligan murph had a excellent Croque Monsieur from the cafe and sat in the Victorian Conservatory. After this visit, we then headed to the Dulwich Picture Gallery, where a collection of artwork was created through the hands of two men and a woman, who had given the art to a place that wasn’t the national gallery.
After all the wonderous things in the Horniman, we then went off to check out the Dulwich Picture Gallery. this gallery, constructed and designed by Sir John Soane, was a resulting measure from Sir Francis Bourgeois and Noel Desenfans. Both had run a successful career as art dealers in london, until the Will of Bourgeois had made an offer of all collected artworks to the Dulwich College in compliance of the construction of the gallery.
The interior was displaying works in a salon-style way, not much different from most art spaces at the time of it’s creation.
That’s all Folks!
Tune in next time for more Harlow Adventures!
