Interactive Exhibition about Sir John Soane's Museum at 13 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London.

universitas-scholarium.org What is a Living Exhibition? Among the world's great small museums, Sir John Soane's at 13 Lincoln's Inn Fields holds a singular place, for it is not merely a collection housed within a building but a building that is itself a work of architecture, filled with paintings, antiquities, architectural models, and the extraordinary alabaster sarcophagus of Pharaoh Seti I, all preserved exactly as Soane left them when he bequeathed the house and its contents to the nation in 1837, stipulating that nothing should ever be changed. A living exhibition gives voices to such a collection. Each figure below is a simulacrum, a cognitive reconstruction drawn from the historical record, from letters, diaries, published works, architectural drawings, and the objects themselves, capable of sustaining the kind of conversation one might have had with the person, or indeed the object, in question.
