约翰·索恩爵士博物馆——18世纪的伦敦写照
If you are looking for somewhere special to visit in London, we may have the answer for you: Sir John Soane's Museum. The museum is one of London's best - kept secrets, and it's well worth a visit. Sir John, a great architect, lived in London during the 18th century (1753—1837), and the amazing thing is that his house is exactly the same as he left it. In fact, visiting the house is just like stepping back in time.
There are three floors which are open to the public. You can start on the first floor. This was Sir John's work area. You can ask the guards about the paintings on the walls as they tell you something about his family and life. And don't worry about the guards as they are really nice and helpful. Next, you can go downstairs to the ground floor. Here you can see his rich collection of paintings. For example, there is a series of interesting paintings about 18th - century life in London. Now comes the last part, the underground floor. It's full of thousands of valuable objects, such as sculptures and models of famous buildings from all over the world. Walking around this part of the house is a bit like being on a treasure hunt, as you can find things hidden away in secret corners. Anyway, you'll have to go there yourself to see.
Sir John Soane's Museum is a very small place. It's only about ten minutes' walk from the British Museum. There is a free hour - long guided tour every Saturday at 2:30 pm, but the best thing is just to walk about by yourself. So now you know where to go next time you're in London. We guarantee that it's an experience you won't forget!
