Horniman Museum

The Horniman Museum is a stones throw from where I grew up. It is an interesting building and has a very interesting history, I popped in the other day and was delight to see a quote from the museum's founder; Frederick Horniman:

Those who use their eyes obtain the most enjoyment and knowledge. Those who look but do not see go away no wiser than when they came.

I found it interesting as it also related to my and many others' philosophy of photography.

A few images from my visit.



The view over London from the Horniman gardens.



The impressive Aquarium in the basement.



The Quote in the entrance gallery of the museum.
