When Sir John Soane's house in Lincoln's Inn Fields was presented to the nation as a museum by Act of Parliament in 1833,it contained a remarkable collection of objects and works of art which had been amassed over his lifetime from his travels and from his friends and professional contacts.The Hogarths and Turners are well known,but there is also a vast number of drawings,clocks,models,manuscripts and objects d'art that were displayed throughout the house,and that represent more accurately the breadth of Soane's tastes and interests.
