Currently they are in third place, with only 15%. Please take 30 seconds to vote for the Horniman for this exhibition.

Thanks for supporting this. Increasing the percentage of votes by 9 points in a single day is a great start and if others join in and vote we will easily overtake the two top choices.

Well used online forums can make a huge difference in online polls like this.


Don't forget to ask your family to vote as well. As long as you have seperate email addresses, different people can each cast a vote.

It's a shame this has been moved to The Lounge. Is it not considered close enough to ED to be in ED businesses? I'm sure a lot of people in ED use the Horniman, maybe it could go in the 'What's On' section if it's not felt to suit the business section.

I had to drag the Woman - felt a little grubby afterwards but it's all in the name of art

Reports on other forum are of Horniman reaching 27%, still third place, so we need to get many more votes before the close of voting on Tuesday. We have moved up 12 percentage points, so we are closing the gap with the joint leaders who have fallen to 36%.


Please also consider sharing this on Facebook by going to http://www.facebook.com/hornimanmuseumandgardens to encourage your friends and neighbours to support our local museum.

This thread needs a big bump. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE VOTE FOR THE HORNIMAN.


The last project this company did (the Rain Room) finished last week at the Barbican. It was free but there was a permanent 2 hour queue to get in, except for the final weekend when it was longer than that. I've no idea if it was good or not because I was put off by the queues and didn't see it.

This is our chance to have an exhibit on our doorstep, at the Horniman. It's worth 2 minutes of your time to register and vote, so please.


Use the OP's link at the top of the thread to vote.


It's a bit confusing at the end when you have to drag and drop the icon thingy, but please persevere.

Great news - The Horniman won!


"rAndom International?s recent immersive installation Rain Room at Barbican?s Curve Gallery had visitors queuing for hours. For Museums at Night they will be weaving their magic at The Horniman Museum and Gardens whose 1,615 votes secured a live art event with an installation, music and storytelling inspired by the museum, garden spaces and natural history collections."

    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
    • Hi my mum has a lovely frenchi , he needs to be walked , as mum (80) is a bit fragile . he is a lovely dog , a bit nervous when around other dogs . Mum lives in East Dulwich . how much do you charge ?   Thanks 🙏🏼 
    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw
