Sir John Soane’s Museum


Sir John Soane's Museum comprises his collection and personal effects, acquired between the 1780's and his death in 1837. I would say that most of the collections are objects from a time and a place.The museum looks at how sir john soane's displayed his collections and the detail on how the rooms were laid out and what colour they would have been. Most of hes collections i was interested in were the white marble sculptures. some rooms had sculptures everywhere you looked. The house reminded me of a fairy tale, with the way the lighting had a soothing ambiance, with shelves of marble heads, and casts of tribes.
