Foundling Museum

On the grounds of the original building, the Foundling Museum in London recounts the history of the Foundling Hospital, an 18th-century children’s home founded by philanthropist Thomas Coram. The museum not only delves into the lives of children in care but also features works by artist William Hogarth and composer George Frideric Handel, both of whom supported the hospital. Visitors can also explore pieces by contemporary artists, including Tracey Emin, adding a modern layer to the historical narrative.
