London’s Horniman Museum is to undergo a £10m (US$13m, €12m) renovation that will ‘reinvigorate and re-interpret’ the Grade-Ilisted building and its surrounding hilltop gardens.
Helmed by London-based architecture practice Feilden Fowles and landscape architect J&L Gibbons, the project, dubbed ‘Nature + Love’, will see underused areas of the estate transformed into new visitor attractions, as well as improvements made to the museum’s Natural History Gallery.
Works will also see the addition of a new adventure zone featuring a nature-themed play area and children’s café.
“These plans brilliantly enact our ambition to celebrate and foster a love of nature, both inside the museum and outside in our gardens,” said Nick Merriman, chief executive and content director at the Horniman Museum.
“I so often hear people say ‘I love the Horniman’, so it will be wonderful to give visitors even more to love, and to use the new spaces to engage and encourage a wider range of people to care for and protect the world we all share.”
