Exclusive LFA Exhibition Viewing: Architects’ Houses and Bouke de Vries: A Rake’s Progress


22 June 2023

8:30 -10:00


Enjoy an exclusive out-of-hours viewing of two newly-opened exhibitions at Sir John Soane's Museum: Architects' Houses and Bouke de Vries: A Rake's Progress.

Architects' Houses celebrates five London houses, all of which, like the Soane Museum, have been designed by major figures from the history of British architecture who lived – and in some cases still live – in them.

An acclaimed artist working with ceramics, Bouke de Vries’ latest work of eight newly created porcelain vases responds to William Hogarth’s A Rake’s Progress. Presented in various states of (dis)repair, the vases parallel the moral and physical degeneration of Hogarth’s anti-hero Tom Rakewell.

Please come to the Museum entrance at 13 Lincoln’s Inn Fields where we will have a list of ticket holders on the door.

We are in a Grade I listed, 19th-century building, so access is not always straightforward. If you require step-free access or extra assistance, please contact us in advance of your booking on admin@soane.org.uk or 020 7405 2107.

We ask that visitors do not bring any luggage or large bags to the Museum. As the Museum spaces are narrow and our museum objects are fragile, we will provide a clear plastic bag for any small items you’d like to carry.
