Sir John Soane is known for his artful skill in design and decoration, and the basement of his house is no exception – within the Crypt resides an expansive collection of artefacts, themed around the Underworld. On 31st October Sir John Soane’s Museum expert guides will lead you through the Museum’s narrow corridors, and dig up the darker side of the collection, from stories of ancient Egyptian gods to the rise of Gothic literature. On this night of live storytelling, you’ll be taken to the space between worlds, surrounded by art, history, and atmosphere – it will be a night to remember.
Spaces are very limited, with ten slots per tour, so be sure to book your spot soon!
