Special film: Restoring Sir John Soane’s Museum

Go behind the scenes of recent preservation efforts at Sir John Soane’s Museum during a special screening of the documentary Opening up the Soane: A Triumph of Restoration. One of the foremost architects of the Regency era, Sir John Soane was also a dedicated art collector. The Soane museum, located in his former London residence, showcases some of the extraordinary works he obtained during his lifetime. In the film, learn about the research, planning and painstaking care required to restore the collection; explore the museum for yourself—perhaps on our British Isles & Iceland Explorer itinerary—next time you visit London.
