Sir John Soane\u2019s Museum in central London is a unique and idiosyncratic \u2018house museum\u2019, designed and built in the early 19th century by its obsessive architect/collector owner. This book takes the reader on a personal and poetic trail, capturing the tragic story of the man who created it, the eclectic collection he gathered within its walls, and most importantly what it says about our universal desire to leave a mark in space and time.\n The House of Everything is conceived as a loose navigation from room to room, taking in the Pompeian red library, the crypt with its glowing alabaster sarcophagus of Seti I, the Picture Gallery unfolding its all-too-close-to home story of a Rake\u2019s Progress, the Monk\u2019s Parlour (dwelling of a completely fictitious gothic monk), the airy delights of the\n\nHouse of Everything\nPoems Inspired by Sir John Soane's Museum\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail track;
