Soane Museum – Presentation – London – Audio Guide – MyWoWo Travel App
Hi, I'm Alyson, your personal guide. Together with MyWoWo, I'd like to welcome you to one of the wonders of the world.
Today I'll accompany you through Soane's Museum, one of the most captivating museums in London!
Just a short distance from the British Museum, Soane's Museum is like an antidote to the unbelievably large amount of history that the colossal British Museum offers. The decidedly contrasting Soane's Museum is as small, private, and exclusive as the British Museum is gigantic, public, and crowded.
Let me tell you the story of its founder, Sir John Soane, who was born in the mid-1700s and was one of Britain's greatest architects of his time. Thanks to archaeological explorations and journeys, Soane had perfectly mastered ancient art and then revisited it in a personal and graceful style. But in addition to designing columns and capitals, he soon began to form a collection of marbles, objects, and fragments.
Around the age of 60, Soane began to transform his beautiful apartment building at number 13 Lincoln's Inn Field into an artist's house-museum, also expanding his property to the houses next door. When he died he left the house and collections to the State, which were further enlarged without altering the museum's special character. Among Greek vases and Roman busts, Indian statues and Chinese vessels, Egyptian sarcophagi and Renaissance sculptures, great portraits of English painters and marvelous Venetian landscapes by Canaletto, Sir John created a dense and charming collection in which millennia of civilization blend into an original, joyful set…

Thinking Outside the Box - Sir John Soane's Museum
Sir John Soane’s Museum is the perfectly preserved house and Museum of Sir John Soane, one of Britain’s most celebrated architects. Soane’s work includes Dulwich Picture Gallery, the Bank of England and several country houses, but it’s his home and museum which remains the best surviving example of his genius.
Soane was a visionary, who used his home as a laboratory for his ideas and as the repository for his various collections.
These include some 54,000 objects, including 30,000 drawings, paintings by, amongst others, Hogarth, Reynolds, Turner and Canaletto, architectural models, Greek and Roman sculpture, Egyptian antiquities and 7,000 rare books, including first editions of Milton and Shakespeare.
It is a vast, remarkable collection, full of curiosities and surprises.
The Museum runs around eighty varied free and charged events that it is necessary to ticket for. Previously the Museum was reliant on external ticket agencies to set up tickets, meaning that people were taken away from the Soane website, that there were no opportunities to upsell related products or for people to book multiple events in a single transaction.
It was also an ‘off brand’ experience for guests and was difficult in terms of managing multiple mailing lists from the admin side. The Museum was also paying thousands of Pounds per year in ticket agency commission.
The Museum’s digital agency Un.titled was tasked with creating a bespoke ticketing service that was fit for the Soane’s size and budget.
Since implementation the Museum has made significant savings on agency commission, has been able to collect visitor data for its own mailing list and customers are channelled through the online shop, thus increasing the exposure of the other items (events and products) and leading to incremental add-on sales.

Soane Museum – Hogarth Second Part – London – Audio Guide – MyWoWo Travel App
Would you like to learn the rest of the tale of A Rake's Progress told through the images of William Hogarth? Then dive into the second episode entitled The Levée.
With the money he inherited from his father, Tom became an up and coming gentleman. In this canvas, which is perhaps the most fun, you can see a parade of hilarious characters while others await their turn. With an inspired air the music teacher plays a new piece on the harpsichord, while the elderly fencing teacher demonstrates the en garde position and a quarterstaff instructor watches, perplexed. The effeminate dance teacher approaches on his tiptoes, holding a small violin in his hand. Behind them you can see a landscaper holding up his project for an English garden for Tom's new estate.
Still wearing his night cap, the libertine is holding the recommendation letter of a brute who is offering his services as Tom's bodyguard. There's also a hunting dog keeper blowing a horn and a jockey kneeling and holding a trophy that's even bigger than him. As you can see, Tom's inheritance will not last very long!
Now move on to the third episode entitled The Orgy: reeling after a brawl, the libertine is sprawled towards the right next to a round table. Two prostitutes near him steal his watch. The setting is quite squalid: a woman is burning the map hanging under the battered portraits of Roman emperors, a couple is flirting, and other prostitutes are drinking, spitting, and playing around. One prostitute is stripping while a pregnant singer performs, accompanied by a harpist and a trumpet player.
Now go on to the fourth episode entitled The Arrest: with the royal residence Saint James's Palace in the background, two officers arrest Tom for debt while uncovering the sedan chair. In the confusion, a boy steals his cane and a lamplighter pours oil from the public lamps over him. Sarah tries to intervene, but in vain…
