A visit to the Sir John Soane’s Museum in Holborn London give you the opportunity to see amazing works from the neo-classical architect Sir John Soane (1753-1837)
This historic house museum features an extensive collection of art and artefacts that he accumulated over his lifetime.
The 30,000-strong drawing collection, which spans the medieval to eighteenth centuries and includes architectural drawings and models, sculptures, paintings, furniture, and decorative objects from ancient civilizations.
The once house and now museum of the British architect Sir John Soane is home to thousands of pieces, ranging from Ancient Egyptian antiquities and Roman sculpture to models of current architecture, are housed in the museum’s collection.
This one-of-a-kind property now receives over 100,000 visitors each year. We hope they come in inquisitive and leave inspired, just as our Sir John Soane envisioned.
The museum is notable for its innovative use of light and space, with many of the rooms designed to be viewed in sequence to create a dramatic effect. The museum also features a Picture Room, which is a curved space lined with paintings, and a Dome Room, a circular room lit by a skylight.
