Architect Sir John Soane's house, museum and library. Soane designed this house to live in, but also as a setting for his collections of antiquities and works of art. The museum was opened for the benefit of students when Soane was made Professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy in 1806 and on his death in 1837 a trust was established to maintain the Museum, 'as nearly as circumstances will admit' in the state in which it was left. Both the collections and the house itself are fantastic and admission is free.
