The classic tour of the Museum, our Highlights Tours will transport you back to Regency London, taking you through Sir John Soane’s extraordinary home, left as it was at the time of his death in 1837.
Join architecture educators Matt+Fiona for a one-day workshop exploring architectural design inspired by the sustainable principles of this year's Soane Medallists.
This talk will explore an illustrated tome of sixteen scenes of London life in 1793, showing a grittier and more exotic side of urban life, away from the fashionable streets, including dromedary rides, street acrobats, and bare-knuckle boxing.
In this hands-on workshop for ages 7-11, you will tour the Museum, take part in a variety of arts and crafts activities including making peg dolls, spoon people, creative cut outs and set making.
Eliza Soane loved gardens and spending time outdoors, especially in the spring. Celebrate the start of Spring with us by making a nature mobile to hang in your window or garden.
Join curator Dr Frances Sands for a tour of our current exhibition, Fanciful Figures, which investigates ‘staffage’, the small human and animal figures in architectural drawings which first appeared in the late seventeenth century in Britain.
Join us for an introductory lecture by Frances Sands, curator of our new exhibition. She will explore in greater depth the subject of staffage figures in architectural drawings: the best and comically worst examples, their purpose, their beauty and whimsy.
