Once upon a time, Sir John Soane's Musuem wasn't the only house-museum in London. Find out about Soane's museum and its lost rival!
Tim Knox, Director of Sir John Soane’s Museum, looks at the extraordinary house-museum of the architect Lewis Nockalls Cottingham (1787-1847) on the Waterloo Bridge Road. A direct contemporary of Soane’s Museum, Cottingham’s ‘Museum of Medieval Art’ was rich in specimens of gothic and early English architecture, and included perhaps the earliest sequence of ‘period rooms’ in any museum. Sold up in 1851, it is recorded by an illustrated Descriptive Memoir and a Sale Catalogue. Tim Knox compares Cottingham’s lost collection with Soane’s surviving one, and touches upon other collections of architectural casts and fragments formed by other architects and antiquaries of the Regency era. This event is chaired by Professor Lisa Jardine.
