The Romance of Ruins: The Search for Ancient Ionia, 1764

19 May - 5 September 2021
Produced in partnership with the British Museum, this exhibition showcases a series of powerful and poetic watercolours made on an expedition to discover ancient Greek ruins in Ionia (in modern Turkey) and Athens in 1764.
The evocative images by the brilliant young artist William Pars which document the expedition are displayed together for the first time. Soane deeply admired Greek architecture, and purchased books relating to the expedition for his own library, which are here shown alongside Pars’s watercolours.

Travelling from Canada to London in 2019 we had the absolute pleasure of visiting the Soane Museum on a cold and wet day. Honestly, of all the sites we visited in London during our week there it was my favourite. That beautiful skylight cast such lovely gold light that it felt like a sunny day. The treasures on display combined with the beautiful architecture was a delight. I hope some day to visit again.
