Since its inception Sir John Soane's Museum has inspired countless generations of students – and continues to do so today.

We welcome group visits by students in higher or further education. These can be in the form of a self-guided tour of the Museum or a teaching session in the Research Library and Archive, which can also be consulted by students working on individual research. The Museum also regularly works with university groups on extended projects.

Please do be in touch with us on admin@soane.org.uk and we can organise a visit that suits your needs.
