The magical, mysterious and marvellously eccentric Sir
John Soane's Museum will be opening its doors for an evening of exclusive
tours on 14 May as part of the national 'Museums at Night' Weekend.
With tours limited to just 20 people at a time, this unique opportunity
to see the Museum by candlelight in such small groups is very special
indeed.
The evening will start with a glass of bubbly in the Library Dining
Room, followed by a talk by one of the Museum's curators in the Picture
Room. Here, visitors will be able to view and find out more about
treasures including, A Rake's Progress and An Election - the two series
of famous Hogarth paintings. Guests will then be free to explore the
Museum - an unrivalled opportunity to experience this architectural
gem.
