What a unique interior! If you are into architecture take a look! Also, make sure you have the guide tell you stories of the paintings in the painting room!
Fascinating museum. Full of interesting architectural and historical artefacts, and wonderful works of art. Worth checking in advance if you can book onto the tours, as they're limited.
Cet endroit vaut le détour! Un indescriptible assemblage d'art, d'artefacts archéologiques et d'objets de l'époque post-victorienne. Une surprise derrière chaque porte de cette étonnante maison.
A gem of a museum. Sign up for the tour of the private residences. Only a few people can go every hour or so. It’s a wonderful way to learn more about Soane and see his family’s quarters.
A wonderful place to browse through. Funny, extraordinary, stunning, intriguing, and more, all in equal measure. You could keep going for hours, and time and again…
An invitation to explore from the dark brick facade, down the winding stair into a preserved world. Wish there were more atmospheric spaces to discover rather than the rooms dedicated to exhibition.
Try to go early, has there is the chance they close some rooms in the afternoon. And ask anything please; everyone can tell you in extreme detail about everything you see. A must!
On the first Tuesday of each month, the museumopens late (6-9pm, last entry 8pm), and the rooms are lit by candles. Visitor numbers are generally high on these evenings, so early arrival is advised. Baca selanjutnya
Amazing museum. Very cool to wander around and see all the amazing aspects of his home. Nice and knowledgeable staff! Definitely make a donation to keep it as is!
Amazing little museum showing the life and work of Sir John Soane. There are clever architectural techniques applied in this small house which also contains Soane’s eclectic collection.
Fascinating museum hidden on a side street—refreshingly uncrowded. Get a map or guidebook before venturing in to get the most of the experience; Sir John's collection isn't all that well-labeled.
There's an atmospheric candlelit late opening (until 9pm) on the first Tuesday of every month. Books say to arrive early so there's always a long queue from 6pm... BUT no queue at all from 8ish!
Awesome place!Noteworthy are the 4 W.Hogarth's election paintings& the lovely room upstairs with all Turner's Yellow interior.Also,wait for it to get dark to go downstairs &see the sarcophagus of Seti
Such an amazing place! Love to see the sarcophagus of Pepi II. Look carefully the model of Eliza Soane’s tomb, which inspired the red telephone box of London.
Heard that this place was amazing and I wasn't disappointed. Went there on a Saturday morning, and it was pleasingly quiet. I had a 5 year old in tow who *loved* the labyrinthine nature of the place
Soane was a unique architect for his day and his house (now a museum) shows an eclecticism and quirkiness that often peeks through in his other works. The Breakfast Room is a classic.
Free and totally unique places like Sir John Soane's Museum are what make London great! Get in the queue early (around 5pm) for the candlelightviewing on the first Tue of every month.
One of the highlights of the museum is the Election series of paintings by William Hogarth mounted on hinged panels which swing back to reveal a series of Piranesi drawings beneath. Baca selanjutnya
You’ll never forget your first visit to the home of architect Sir John Soane. It’s stuffed with curios and is almost exactly as Soane left it when he died in 1837. Baca selanjutnya
V.intriguing exhibition esp. the sarcophagus - artefacts to look at in every direction! Ask questions about Soane's architectural drawings - the guide loves to talk about them! Baca selanjutnya
Hidden gem. Arrive early as it gets busy. Be aware no photography allowed inside. Bags must be left in cloakroom due to tight corridors. Not suitable for small children.
18 December: When Soane eventually died, he had collected so much he arranged for an Act of Parliament to allow him to bequeath it to the nation, and it remains to this day.
Soane was a distinguished neo-classical architect who designed the Bank of England. After his death in 1837 his house became a unique museum of architecture and art.
Indescribable, you just have to go there. Especially amazing if you can go for the once-a-month candle-lit viewing. One of the most interesting things I've seen in London. Baca selanjutnya
The world's most famous 'secret museum', the SJSM can't be described without using the words bric-a-brac, labyrinthine, or cluttered. A must-see for anyone who hasn't been.
