Foundling Museum

The Foundling Museum was set up in 1998 and houses the nationally important art collection of the Foundling Hospital. After a major building refurbishment it opened to the public as a state-of-the-art museum in June of 2004. The Museum tells the story of the Foundling Hospital, and examines the work of its founder Thomas Coram, the artist William Hogarth and the composer George Frideric Handel. It also illustrates how the Foundling Hospital's charity work for children is still carried on today by Coram Family.
