Information for Sir John Soane's Museum

Exhibitions currently running:

In Pursuit of Antiquity - We can never underestimate the profound influence of the idea of the greatness of Classical Antiquity on British architects of the late 18th century. The perceived significance of the Ancient World was by then rooted in first-hand observation of the great surviving monuments of Ancient Rome, which architects, artists and patrons had seen on their Grand Tour of Italy. Most of the sections of this exhibition are devoted to select architectural drawings of designs by Sir John Soane, Robert Adam, Sir William Chambers, James Wyatt and George Dance the Younger: they are the giants of British neo-Classicism. Until 1 June.
