Beautiful British history that is lesser known. Volunteers are knowledgeable and know the exhibits thoroughly. They took initiative to explain everything. One of the best museums I’ve visited thus far.

We attended a Music workshop on the 19th February and had lots of fun. The museum was very interesting as well learn few things about the kids that lived there. Recommend visiting!

A truly lovely museum, and certainly worth visiting if you're interested in the history of life in Edwardian & Victorian London, poverty, and fostering/adoption in Britain. The building carries with it countless art pieces, furniture, clothing, and information printed all over the walls. The atmosphere is calm and offers a thought-provoking experience on what family means, how children have been treated throughout history, and the harsh reality of poverty in London in the 1700s and 1800s. The museum also offers a nod to recent media depicting the Foundling Hospital, and others related to it in some way. The staff were kind and helpful in entry, and the gift shop was lovely, too. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend a visit here. It is worth the money.

Highly recommend. A very informative if not sad display of objects associated with The Foundling Hospital and resulting charties connected to it. Plenty to see and the top floor has an excellent exhibition on Handle the composer. He was a governor and benefactor of the Foundling Hospital. Attended a afternoon lecture there tge same day on music and symbolism in Durch 17th century art. There is a lift to each floor which is helpful. A small gift shop Nearby are various places to eat within a 2 minute walk in the modernist Brunswick Shopping centre.

This magnificent museum, based on a collection for foundlings founded by philanthropist Thomas Coram in 1739, was established in 1998 and includes works by Hogarth, Reynolds, and many other remarkable artists, as well as Handel's scores and librettos, and numerous household items. The children's tokens, left by mothers to their children, are truly captivating. A wonderful, informative museum, a must-see for anyone interested in London history. We loved it!
