On 12 February Soane and Modernism: Make It New, an exhibition which places drawings from Soane’s collection in dialogue with work by modernist architects such as Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, opened to rave reviews at the Sir John Soane's Museum. With a selection of old and new works on display for the first time ever, it is well worth making a trip to the Museum to see it. The exhibition will run until 18 May 2025.
