Sir John Soane's Museum

ArtArchitectureHistoryClosed · Opens 10amFreeHolborn

Sir John Soane convirtió tres casas georgianas contiguas en uno de los museos personales más extraordinarios del mundo. No hay una sola superficie libre: antigüedades romanas, maquetas arquitectónicas, pinturas (entre ellas El progreso del libertino, de Hogarth) y sarcófagos egipcios se acumulan por todas partes. La cripta del sótano resulta realmente sobrecogedora. El museo conserva todo tal como estaba cuando Soane murió en 1837, hasta los espejos que usaba para hacer llegar la luz a estancias sin ventanas. Pequeño, intenso y distinto a cualquier otro lugar.
