Dolby:Finally came round to visiting a place in London that I had wanted to check out for ages … and it sure did not disappoint! - (The company was rather delicious too)
If you happen to come to my neck of the wood, make sure this is on your agenda.
It is a mind-blowing cornucopia of artefacts and fine art, including several Turner, and a sarcophagus from the Valley of the Kings.
John Soane's collection of paintings was so large that he actually invented a clever shutter system whereby entire walls could be peeled open to reveal more art-covered surfaces.
