Come and visit the Foundling Museum on Saturday 4th September at 1pm!

About the museum
The Foundling Museum tells the story of the Foundling Hospital, London's first home for abandoned children and of three major figures in British history: its campaigning founder the philanthropist Thomas Coram, the artist William Hogarth and the composer George Frideric Handel.

This remarkable collection of art, period interiors and social history is now housed in a restored and refurbished building adjacent to the original site of the Hospital, demolished in 1926.

We will be having a guided tour of the museum which will not only give us an introduction into the history of the Foundling Hospital, its founder Captain Thomas Coram and the children’s daily lives, the guide will take the group through two magnificent historic rooms: the Picture Gallery and the Court Room, which include many important 18th and 19th century works of art. The tour concludes in the Gerald Coke Handel Room with an introduction to the composer George Frederic Handel and his involvement with the Foundling Hospital.

We are meeting up at 1pm at Russell Square tube station, near the ticket barriers.

Entry to the museum is £8 each, which includes the guided tour of the museum for the group.

Afterwards, we will head to the museum's cafe for a chat over a drink.

If you can't see us at the station, please call.

Hope to see you there!
