Sir John Soane House & Museum

Sir John Soane (September 10, 1753 - January 20, 1837) was one of England's greatest architects.  He is primarily known for his work at the Bank of England, but he built and lived in a home that was an exhibit place for his architectural artifacts and a laboratory for his design ideas.  The house was established as a museum at the time of Soane's death and it has been kept as it was since that time.  Located in Lincoln's Inns Fields in the borough of Holborn, London, it displays his vast collection of antiquities, furniture, sculptures, architectural models and paintings.
