Once a home, now a museum dedicating itself to the collections owned by Sir John Sloane, an architect who lectured in the Royal Academy. Determined to help his pupils and amateurs in architecture, painting and sculpture understand his interests, Sloane appointed Trustees to care for and treasure his items in order for people to enjoy and learn from them for years to come.The museum was over flowing with intriguing objects ranging from pots to figurines, lining the walkways and walls from top to toe. It was clear to see his interest and knowledge of architecture.

The arrangement of the collection was well thought out with bits of pillar being evenly spaced out up the wall so they once again took the appearance of a pillar. With so many items to house the museum was an overwhelming place to walk into. It became apparent that it must also be an extremely inspiring place to visit and this would be why Sloane surrounded himself with them and why he would want students then and now to visit.
