I've started using Pinterest for the Horniman too: http://pinterest.com/hornimanmuseum/
We're posting some of our own images, but mainly images 'inspired by' our new exhibition (opening March 24), real-life photos of animals which we have taxidermy of, pics of our galleries by visitors and a whole board dedicated to our love of walruses.
There's lots more we could do - underwater photography, photos of musical instruments being played, and so on.
I'm not wading in very deep as yet (there are lots of issues around pinterest which I'd like to see cleared up better), but I'd prefer to be on board than not.
