Museum
"We do tell a remarkable story about the thousands of
children whose parents, for some reason or other (usually poverty),
had to leave them to grow up at the Foundling Hospital. This
charitable institution was the first of its kind and stood in
London from 1741 to 1926. What makes it even more fantastic is
the art and music collection, donated by artists to help
fundraise for the upkeep of the children. We show paintings by
Hogarth, Gainesborough, Reynolds and many others, all with
subject matter specifically relating to the Foundling Hospital".
