O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Dom sira Johna Soanea iz 19. stoletja je postal muzej z aktom parlamenta, ki si ga je osebno zagotovil in s tem jamčil, da bo ostal natanko tako, kot ga je zapustil. Stavba hrani več kot 30.000 arhitekturnih risb in 30.000 knjig ter sarkofag faraona Setija I., za katerega so potrebovali tri dni, da so ga zvlekli noter.
Poudarki: Soane je muzej zasnoval kot kos arhitekturnega gledališča: stene se odprejo, da razkrijejo skrite galerije, ogledala množijo svetlobo sveč v neskončnost, majhna zajtrkovalnica pa deluje kot da stopite v optično iluzijo. Lahko stojite v Meniškem salonu, namerno mračni sobi, ki jo je ustvaril samo zato, da bi pokazal, kako svetloba bakel naredi predmete videti zlovešče.
Notranji nasveti
- 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.
