In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of VE Day, this online exhibition uncovers stories of how Soanean architecture fared among the chaos of World War II, piecing together newspaper clippings, journal entries, and photos from archives.
Academics from Sir John Soane’s Museum, Dulwich Picture Gallery, Bentley Priory, the Infirmary at the Royal Hospital Chelsea and Nos 10 & 11 Downing Street look back to see how these institutions were affected, and how staff and Trustees were able to reopen and rebuild after the war.
