SIR JOHN SOANE'S MUSEUM

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING MUSEUM!!
It's my second time to the SIR JOHN SOANE'S MUSEUM, it still impressed me deeply!
Soane designed this house to live in, but also as a setting for his antiquities and his works of art. After the death of his wife (1815), he lived here alone, constantly adding to and rearranging his collections. Having been deeply disappointed by the conduct of his two sons, one of whom survived him, he determined to establish the house as a museum to which ‘amateurs and students’ should have access.
