The Sir John Soane's Museum in London is a converted former house of the renowned architect and has been a public museum and library since the early 19th century.
On his appointment as Professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy in 1806, Professor Soane began to arrange the Books, casts and models in order that the students might have the benefit of easy access to them and proposed opening his house for the use of the Royal Academy students the day before and the day after each of his lectures.
This laid the foundations for the museum which continues to attract many visitors year after year.
