With my daughter and mother, the story told by the museum focuses on family, women, and children, which is very moving and powerful. I heard that the origin of the British gallery is an orphanage, which is it! The volunteers at the front desk were very friendly and gave us a very detailed Chinese explanation. It happened that the old mother could see very clearly if she didn't understand English! give it a like! “Here, you can feel the story of the nearly 300 years of children and artists, and we hope to celebrate the contribution of artists and creative people from all walks of life to the welfare of children.”
The Orphan Museum is a museum of foundations. The former founder seems to be a writer who adopted many orphans to take care of. The exhibition also tells how well-known artists participated in the family and how it became the first public art gallery.
The Orphan Museum consists of three floors. The first floor tells the story of the basic hospital from the early eighteenth century to the twentieth century. There are works of art related to the governor and the children living in it. They are displayed in the meeting room. On the second floor, the works of the composer Handel, who is closely related to it, are displayed.
A brown brick house hidden in the community, a total of three floors, one floor displays the history of the nursery hall and derivative art works, the second floor can see the interior and furniture of the rich era, oil paintings, etc., there is a room with snowflake plaster carved full of flowers and fruits, Very beautiful. There is a small cafe in the hall. A large glass cabinet on one floor displays the tokens (symbols) that the mother had to entrust the child to the nursery, from small rings to punch coins, and from the other side reflect the historical face of London, full of humanistic museums. Student cards can be discounted.
