Foundling Museum
The Foundling Museum tells the fascinating history of the Foundling Hospital, England’s home for abandoned children in 1739, houses England’s first public art collection which led to the formation of the Royal Academy and displays the largest public collection of Handel memorabilia as it was the home of Handel’s Messiah!
Guests will be offered a glass of wine/champagne and are free to wander round the social history galleries on the ground floor, Court Room on the 1st floor and the Handel collection on the second floor.
Guests will then be seated for dinner in the grand Picture Gallery which displays the portraits which started the collection in the 1740’s.
We would be able to provide guides to talk to guests about the history.
