Sir John Soane was an architect, best known for his work with the bank of England, also the architect for Dulwich Picture Gallery.
From his fortunes and his travels, he collected a vast array of things from all over the world. From paintings to antiques and Egyptian works of art. The great thing, is that all he collected is on display in his house, which due to a family feud, he left to the general public to enjoy.
The house is beautiful and the museum objects are fascinating - a really unusual museum.
