The Saddest Museum in London: The Foundling Hospital Museum

In this video, Jessica the Museum Guide (that’s me!) takes you on a guided tour through the Foundling Hospital Museum, exploring the poignant story of sea captain Thomas Coram and his mission to help orphaned and abandoned children in 18th century London. This isn’t a cheery tale, but it is a deeply moving place with a fascinating history. Together we’ll explore the tokens that desperate mothers left for their babies to help identify them in the future, the story of how the hospital began, and what daily life was like for 18th century orphans, and the hospital’s impressive art collection. 👉🏻Join me for exclusive content ONLY on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/themuseumguide In November it is a guided tour through the Medieval Musée de Cluny in Paris, and in December it will be a tour of the British Library’s Medieval Women exhibition. 👉🏻As always, thanks for watching.
