Join us after dark for this Soane Late as we celebrate the drama of architecture by delving deeper into the stories and design of this unique Museum and the newly opened Vanbrugh: The Drama of Architecture exhibition.

About the Exhibition

Vanbrugh: The Drama of Architecture will introduce new audiences to the work of the English Baroque architect, adventurer, playwright and spy 300 years after his death, by showcasing never-before-exhibited drawings, including many in Vanbrugh’s own hand. Guests will have the opportunity to see a selection of Vanbrugh’s drawings for major projects like Castle Howard and more experimental plans for schemes, such as the housing estate he envisaged at Greenwich.
