About the Sir John Soane Museum
The world-renowned Sir John Soane’s Museum is one of the most iconic and influential buildings in the history of architecture. Created by Sir John Soane, one of Britain’s greatest architects, it was his home as well as his private Museum. Soane’s collections – architectural fragments, Graeco-Roman marbles, casts, paintings, sculpture and furniture – are still arranged today as they were at the time of his death in 1837. The museum is considered the ‘supreme example of the house-museum’ with a pre-eminent collection of fascinating and idiosyncratic works of art.
