• explore the resources of Sir John Soane's Museum
• meet and exchange ideas with architecture professionals

In Partnership with the Wallace Collection:

"My collection is the result of my life":
The Art of Collecting and Display at the Wallace Collection and Sir John Soane's Museum
10 and 11 March 2011, 10.30am - 3.30pm
Maximum 18 students. Suitable for AS/A2
Art & Design and Art History Students.
This day will introduce students to the issues of collection and display in these two once private, but now public collections. Both were acquired by fascinating characters and, unusually, both retain the feel of someone's home. Through discussion, observation and independent research, students will develop their understanding of the objects' collection history and the different approaches to display in each institution.
