The architect Sir John Soane's house, museum and library has been a public museum since the early 19th century. On his appointment as Professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy in 1806 Soane began to arrange the Books, casts and models in order thatthe students might have the benefit of easy access to them and proposed opening his house for the use of the Royal Academy students the day before and the day after each of his lectures. The Museum is open free: Tue-Sat inclusive, 10-5.
