Sir John Soane's Museum:the most ingenious domestic architecture in Britain.
Sir John Soane's museum(約翰索恩博物館)位在倫敦市中心的Holborn區,被喻為是英國建築中最巧妙的一棟房子,而它豐富的藝術品收藏也成為倫敦最值得造訪的名勝之一。索恩爵士(1753-1837年)是以新古典主義風格聞名的建築師,設計出英格蘭銀行這經典的作品,而此博物館即為索恩爵士的故居,在他的妻子過世(1815年)後,索恩爵士決定將房子作為展示他的收藏品之用,博物館如謎般的建築風格,以及石棺、雕刻和龐大數量的畫作收藏都令人驚嘆。
每個月的第一個禮拜二晚上六點開始是索恩爵士博物館唯一在晚上開放的時間,記得早一點去排隊!
13 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, WC2A 3BP
