Free FreeDiscover what the Horniman curators and staff have been up to with our series of behind the scenes talks and tours.
Dr Robert Storrie, our Keeper of Anthropology, draws on his fieldwork in Amazonia to discuss the meanings of the three shrunken heads in the Horniman's collection.
What did they mean to the Shuar People who made them, and what do they mean now to their descendents? What have they meant to museums and their visitors over the past century, and can we find a way of displaying them in the future that does justice to Amazonian understandings of the world?
