There  in houses that embody both his architectural vision and his passion for collecting  Soane exhibited a marvellous array of artefacts  including an outstanding collection of plaster casts  and idiosyncratic items ranging from mummified cats to the sarcophagus of the Egyptian king Seti I. Soane intended the collection to be an Academy of Architecture that would inspire students for generations to come  and today it continues to attract more than 90 000 visitors every year. Written by the present director of the museum and featuring specially commissioned photographs by Derry Moore  this absorbing account of a unique  perpetually surprising cabinet of curiosities offers a fascinating insight into the genius of an exceptional man.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646809137205,"sku":"ByrdShop_1858944759","price":125.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781858944753.jpg?v=1781678721","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sir-john-soanes-museum-london-9781858944753","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
