نصائح للميزانية

Entry is completely free, no booking required for individuals. Donations are welcome, and the museum shop sells excellent architectural gifts that support the collection.

حول

حقائق سريعة: أصبح منزل السير جون سوون من القرن التاسع عشر متحفاً بموجب قانون برلماني حصل عليه شخصياً، يضمن بقاءه تماماً كما تركه. يضم المبنى أكثر من 30,000 رسم معماري و30,000 كتاب، بالإضافة إلى تابوت الفرعون سيتي الأول الذي استغرق نقله إلى الداخل ثلاثة أيام.

النقاط البارزة: صمم سوون المتحف نفسه كقطعة من المسرح المعماري: الجدران تتأرجح لتكشف عن صالات مخفية، والمرايا تضاعف ضوء الشموع إلى ما لا نهاية، وغرفة الإفطار الصغيرة تشعرك وكأنك تدخل إلى وهم بصري. يمكنك الوقوف في غرفة الراهب، وهي حجرة كئيبة تعمد خلقها فقط ليظهر كيف يجعل ضوء المشعل الأشياء تبدو شريرة.

نصائح من الداخل

  • Pick up the free multimedia guide at the ticket desk, it reveals hidden features like the movable wall panels most visitors miss.
  • The Picture Room opens its secret flaps on the hour, giving you only 10 minutes to see paintings normally folded away.
  • Skip the cafe and head to Lincoln's Inn Fields across the street for a quiet bench under the plane trees.
  • Photography is allowed without flash, so the tight spiral staircases and reflecting mirrors are perfect for creative shots.
