Designed by Sir John Soane, one of Britain's greatest architects, the museum was his home as well as his private showcase. Behind its unusual façade lies one of London's most intriguing interiors, every aspect of which reflects Soane’s architectural ingenuity and love of beauty. His collections are still arranged as they were at the time of his death; they include architectural fragments, Roman and Greek marbles, casts, paintings, sculpture and furniture. Highlights of the collection include the Sarcophagus of Seti I and two sets of paintings by William Hogarth: A Rake's Progress and An Election.
