Foundling Museum

The Foundling Museum tells the story of the Foundling Hospital, the 18th-century institution created for abandoned children. Its collections mix social history, fine art, and music, including the role of artists and Handel in supporting the hospital.

It is a quieter museum than the British Museum nearby, but worthwhile for the way it connects London's charity history with Georgian art and the lives of children who passed through the institution.
