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

关于
快速信息: 约翰·索恩爵士19世纪的自宅通过他亲自争取的一项议会法案变成了博物馆，确保一切保持他离开时的原样。建筑内收藏了超过3万幅建筑图纸和3万册图书，以及一具法老塞提一世的石棺，当年花了三天时间才拖运进去。
亮点: 索恩将博物馆本身设计成一出建筑戏剧：墙壁旋转打开露出隐藏的画廊，镜子将烛光反射出无限延伸的效果，而小小的早餐室让人仿佛步入一场视觉幻象。你可以站在修士厅中，一个他特意营造的阴郁房间，只是为了展示火炬光如何让物体显得神秘莫测。
内部小贴士
- 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.
