Foundling Museum and Soane's Museum

A select group took the opportunity of visiting the Foundling Museum and then, after lunch, the Soane's Museum.

We discovered the story behind the Foundling Hospital, the children who lived there, and its vibrant community of artists, musicians and supporters through the galleries and historic rooms. We enjoyed the contemporary works of art threaded throughout, connecting past and present.

Then onto Sir John Soane’s Museum, where we explored the extraordinary house and museum of Sir John Soane, one of the greatest English architects, who built and lived in it two centuries ago. The museum has been kept as it was at the time of his death in 1837, and displays his vast collection of antiquities, furniture, sculptures, architectural models and paintings.
