From tea to
gingerbread, this series of talks is inspired by the wonderful food, drink and
feasting objects in our world collections. Respected food historians and
leading anthropologists will provide fascinating insights into objects we’ve
uncovered as part of Collections
People Stories: Anthropology Reconsidered –
an exciting three year project focused on reviewing and reassessing the global
significance of the Horniman’s anthropology collections from Africa, the
Americas, Oceania, Europe and Asia.
