This exhibition will explore the British fascination with all things Egyptian through evocative drawings, decorative objects and architecture, from Soane's time to today.
This online exhibition presents findings from two major cataloguing projects: one on the ‘Book of Architecture of John Thorpe’ in Sir John Soane’s Museum, and the second on the Smythson drawings at the Royal Institute of British Architects.
Vanbrugh: The Drama of Architecture will introduce new audiences to the work of an architect, dramatist and radical, whose plays, drawings, and buildings continue to inspire, 300 years on.
