Sir John Soane's Museum
Discover 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 was designed and curated by Sir John Soane (1753-1837), one of Britain’s greatest architects. Known for its whimsical and personal interiors, every aspect of the Museum reflects Soane's architectural ingenuity, imagination, innovation and artistic taste. Soane’s collections – Greco-Roman marbles, architectural fragments, plaster casts, paintings, sculptures, and priceless furniture – are still arranged today as they were at the time of his death in 1837, as decreed by an Act of Parliament. We invite you to continue the tradition of entertaining at the Museum, in the same rooms where Soane himself hosted the great and the good of Regency society. By doing so, you support the care and conservation of this amazing Grade I listed house and its world-class collection.
