Sir John Soane's Museum Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Sir John Soane, the well known English architect and designer of the Bank of England, couldn't resist buying anything that might be a collectible. His house is likely a museum in which you can peruse his phenomenal collection of art and antiques from around the world. Inside are Monument Court, the Egyptian Crypt, and a mock-medieval ruin of a Monk's parlor and cloister. The architecture of the house, particularly the lovely colored skylights, is also worth seeing. Check website for further details.

Sir John Soane’s Museum#londontrip This museum is actually located inside a row of houses just opposite Lincoln’s Inn Fields. Entry is free but you can purchase a guide book of the museum for £3. They offer the guidebook as no signs are placed around the museum due to preserving the condition of the house. According to the entry guide, the house is left in similar condition to how the Soane family lived. Around the museum, there are dedicated staff who are full of knowledge on the history and life of John Soane and his family and fortune. The location is a little further away from other sights to see in London but it is a fun and interesting little trip. #london #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #museumAmy.in.asia10

sir john soane museumThe interiors of Sir John Soane’s Museum are characterised by an engaging variety of objects, furniture, and space. Caruso St John worked on the design of furniture within the restored interiors of four rooms in No. 12, the house forming the left side of the museum in Lincoln’s Inn Fields. The project made new exhibition galleries on the first floor, and an interpretation gallery, entrance facilities and a shop at the ground floor. Soane’s genius is as much about a splendid organisation of light and space, as it is about a connoisseur’s eye for precious objects and an ability to bring seemingly disparate things together. Caruso St John’s work is intended to provide a seamless mediation between drawings, objects, interpretation, merchandise, and the ‘room’. The new furniture, cabinets and linings required to furnish these rooms, are brought into a balance with their specific positions within the narrative of the Museum, with the material detail of the restored rooms, and finally with their use. The interventions are intended to have the lightness and wit that characterise the rest of the Museum. #themeparkAlma soraya9

The Sir John & Thorn Museum is located in a beautiful square with a public garden. The tour guide has a comprehensive understanding of the doctor's research topics and many other aspects of Egyptology. He can walk for no more than five minutes from the central line of the Holland Railway Station.
The basement tour of Sir John Thorn Museum is like traveling through the future, using light extraordinarily. The upstairs is more like a traditional gallery with stone sculptures from all over the world, including the sarcophagus of the King of Egypt, set up as it was 200 years ago.
an incredible museum full of incredible pieces - the building itself is a piece of art
Great architecture, unfortunately quite a few places are not open to the public. You go back to the eighteenth century England to see the beautifully furnished kitchen and Egyptian coffins, or climb upstairs to see a small but reminiscent collection of Hobart paintings. If you are in the area, it is worth a visit.
