The Sir John Soane's Museum.

A house and museum, Sir John Soane a great Regency architect, born in Berkshire in 1753, son of a bricklayer, died in 1837.  In 1833 he established the house as a museum open to the public and stipulated that it be kept in it's original state. The house has had major restoration's and in keeping with Sir John Soane's wishes.
The house and collections of art and antiquities which are displayed from floor to ceiling and in small narrow passages really is magnificent.  Soane a Professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy, displayed his collection so as to educate and inspire the viewer in the Art's, demonstrating the effects of light and the development of structures, variations in material, pattern and ornament in buildings.  Worth while visit, or visits.  Really is a fascinating museum.
