Sir John Soane was a prominent architect in the late 18th and early 19th century and professor of architecture at the Royal Academy #225. The museum is located in his former house on Lincoln's Inn Fields #105. Soane owned two adjacent properties, leaving them to the nation by an act of parliament, which required that the buildings be maintained as close to their original state as possible. The museum houses Soane's collection of architectural drawings, models and antiquities. The collection includes paintings by Canaletto, Hogarth, J.M.W. Turner and Joshua Reynolds; 18th century Chinese ceramics; Peruvian pottery; Greek and Roman bronzes and the ancient Egyptian alabaster sarcophagus of Seti I. The architecture of the house, having been remodelled by Soane himself, is as much a part of the collection as the paintings and objects.
