Please note we are unable to accept donations for our collections or learning department without prior consent. If an object is sent without prior arrangement, we will attempt to return it to its owner. However, if this is not possible within four months of deposit, the Horniman reserves the right to dispose of the item(s) as it feels appropriate.
If you are interested in donating an object to the Horniman, please contact us first. All new acquisitions must align with our Collections Policy.
Our Collections Policy is focused on the areas we are collecting in, reflecting the Horniman’s aims, so we are not able to guarantee that your donation will be accepted. Our staff will be able to advise you, following a discussion about the object, on whether it could be donated to us.
Please read our Collections Policy, and in particular the sections:
