The Foundling Museum tells the story of the Foundling Hospital, London's first home for abandoned children and home to three major figures in British history: its campaigning founder, the philanthropist Thomas Coram, the artist William Hogarth and the composer George Frideric Handel. This remarkable collection of art and social history is now housed in a restored and refurbished building adjacent to the original site of the Hospital, demolished in 1926.
If you enjoy working with children you will enjoy working on our children’s projects at the museum.
