Discover our summer exhibitions with Deaf guide John Wilson for a special out-of-hours tour.
Lasting around an hour and limited to 10 people, these tours led by Deaf guides are exclusively for D/deaf and hard of hearing visitors.
Architects' Houses celebrates five London houses, all of which, like the Soane, have been designed by the architects who lived – and in some cases still live – in them. Through the use of drawings, photographs, models and other 3D objects, this visually stimulating exhibition showcases the Museum’s connection to modern and contemporary architectural practices, presenting the Soane as part of a larger conversation about the impact of architects’ houses.
Visions in Porcelain: A Rake's Progress is inspired by Hogarth’s series of original paintings at the Soane Museum. Cermaic artist Bouke de Vries draws on his love of storytelling and talent for symbolism through ceramics with eight newly created porcelain vases presented in various states of (dis)repair. Starting with an immaculate celadon vase, de Vries treats the following seven increasingly deteriorating vases with a variety of restoration processes and glazes, which parallel the moral and physical degeneration of Hogarth’s anti-hero Tom Rakewell. Cracks appear in the surface, the vessels slump and implode – with obvious and drastic methods of repair failing to save the vase or Rake from their ultimate demise.
This tour is now sold out.
