This week's #objectoftheweek is a painting of the ruins at Kirkstall Abbey, Yorkshire, painted by JMW Turner after his visit in 1797. Mrs Soane bought the watercolour directly from Turner’s Gallery in 1804, and today it hangs in her Morning Room in the Private Apartments.

Visitor Assistant Roberto chooses our #ObjectoftheWeek, View in the Portico with the main entrance of the Design for a Royal Palace, 1827.

"Despite the palace never coming to fruition, this watercolour shows the scale and imagination of Soane."

#OnThisDay 1674 John Milton, English poet and philosopher, died. Milton makes a prominent feature in the Picture Room, where you can see him in a painting by Richard Westall, dictating his literary work to his daughters.
