👀 A Hidden Gem Art and Architecture Museum Loved by London Locals✨
In London, there’s this lesser-known museum —— the Sir John Soane’s Museum. It mainly showcases the private residence and collection of the legendary British architect, including paintings, sculptures, and architectural models. 🚇 It’s super convenient to get to by tube; just get off at Holborn Station or Chancery Lane Station and walk a few steps, it’s also close to the British Museum, just a 10-minute stroll away. 🎫 The best part is it’s free! Free! No need to book in advance, just walk in, but you might have to wait a few minutes at the door if it’s crowded. This place was once the residence and studio of the renowned architect Sir Soane. His architectural style is amazing; the Bank of England is one of his classics. The museum is preserved as it was when he died in 1837, with three floors of space that, though not large, are incredibly well arranged 👏. The courtyard is surrounded by collections from various eras, and you can even see the sarcophagus of the Egyptian pharaoh Seti I. The corridors are narrow, and the walls are filled with treasures. Walking along, I almost bumped faces with a mysterious death mask. The basement, lit by flickering candlelight, is full of atmosphere. After visiting, it’s like you’ve traveled through history. Come and check it out, guys! #SirJohnSoanesMuseum #London #LondonFreeMuseums #LondonExhibitions #UKExhibitions #LondonTravel #BritishMuseum #LondonArt #London
