Sir John Soane's Museum

ArchitectureArtHistoryOpen until 5pmFreeHolborn

Ο Sir John Soane μετέτρεψε τρία διπλανά αρχοντικά σε ένα από τα πιο εξωφρενικά προσωπικά μουσεία στον κόσμο. Κάθε επιφάνεια είναι καλυμμένη: ρωμαϊκές αρχαιότητες, αρχιτεκτονικά ομοιώματα, πίνακες (μεταξύ αυτών το A Rake's Progress του Hogarth), αιγυπτιακές σαρκοφάγοι. Η κρύπτη στο υπόγειο έχει πράγματι ιδιαίτερη ατμόσφαιρα. Το μουσείο διατηρεί τα πάντα όπως ήταν όταν πέθανε ο Soane το 1837, μέχρι και τους καθρέφτες που χρησιμοποιούσε για να αντανακλά το φως σε δωμάτια χωρίς παράθυρα. Μικρό, έντονο, και εντελώς διαφορετικό από οτιδήποτε άλλο.
