Sir John Soane's Museum

Sir John Soane’s Museum in London occupies the former home of the architect Sir John Soane, who lived there from 1792 until his death in 1837. The three adjoining houses were remodelled into a unique combination of home, studio and museum, filled with works collected during his lifetime. The interiors, architecture and tightly arranged displays are as much part of the experience as the individual objects. The collection spans ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquities, medieval objects, paintings, drawings and architectural models. Highlights include the Sarcophagus of Seti I, works by William Hogarth and Canaletto, and Soane’s extensive collection of architectural drawings.
