23rd oct, the Horniman Museum

In Horniman Museum you can almost find specimen and artifacts from every country at any age or style, it's like a mini version of Victoria and Albert Museum, but with green and beautiful garden space and buildings, standing within such a lovely space, you feel refreshed and clear.

'Victorian tea trader Frederick John Horniman began collecting specimens and artefacts from around the World in the 1860's' (the Horniman Museum site), Horniman has some of the most famous collections in the world, for example the music instruments, which I was intrigued very much.

THere is an unusually looking accordion, distinct from the common accordions in the market, regular rectangle shape on one side and the other is a keyboard resembling a tinier piano. It has the shape of a hexagon on the button side, similarly , another hexagon on the keyboard side,two boxes joint by exquisitely patterned bellow(in between the body), it makes people want to hear it sing.

ah the wisdom of human being.
