London actually has a lot
of historical treasure troves that tourists often overlook. The capital is
definitely rich in history and you just need a nudge in the right direction.
The less popular and
sometimes underrated museums actually offer a rich insight into the city’s
cultural identity. It’s an experience that only a few people get to enjoy.
Staying in hotels
in Cricklewood London brings you much closer to the Foundling Museum.
Some of these hotels are located right down the road of this rare city
attraction.
So, what makes this museum
special? The collections housed there tell the story of the first children’s
charity in the UK. Of course that is only one of the many wonderful things and
insights that you will get when you visit the Foundling Museum. It is also
dedicated for the promotion of the Foundling Hospital for children.
Music for Unity
Music communicates a lot
of messages. One of the things that it can do to a community is to unite people
coming from different backgrounds. That is actually one of the goals of the
Foundling Museum – to promote togetherness and unite our communities.
The organizers use the
power of music to create such an impact. That is why they organize regular
music events to share this message of unity and to entertain their visitors.
The goal of course is to
bring people together. It’s a great opportunity to bring the entire family
along and enjoy the music as a family. Neighbors and even total strangers share
in the experience of enjoying classical music, folk music, and they can even
sing along as well.
Family Events
Wedding
venues in north London are a short
distance away from the Foundling Museum. And that reminds us of the many family
centered events that are sponsored by this institution.
Talks
The Foundling Museum also
hosts talks and lectures that educate and inform participants. Invited speakers
include community leaders, celebrities, scholars, and other professionals.
And of Course Art
It wouldn’t be much of a
museum if the Foundling Museum did not house any art in it, right? The museum
showcases antiques and a lot of other artistic works. The core of the
collection of course tells the history of the Foundling Hospital.
Nevertheless, it should
also be observed that the collections that you’ll find here also promote local
talent. The museum’s collection also includes classical paintings.
If you’re new to art then
the Introductory Gallery will be a good eye opener. Bring your camera along
with you since you will be allowed to snap some pictures.
