Foundling Museum London, Where Philanthropy Meets Art The Foundling Museum in London is a unique experience, combining the story of the city's first children's home with a historic art collection.

The Foundling Museum is one of London's excellent small museums, combining social history with art... #london #londonmuseum #foundlingmuseum #bgtw @travwriters.bsky.social

The accompanying text about Thomas Boulton and Frederick Park who lived openly as women in the 1870s and performed in the theatre together. They were put on trial for their behaviour but acquitted

Visited the #FoundlingMuseum today (really interesting and lots to think about) but saw an art exhibition on the theme of #identity - even as a #TransAlly I hadn’t heard of these people and thought I would share 🏳️‍⚧️

Off to the library to do some of my university work… will also go to the #FoundlingMuseum as I’ve never been before - oddly feels a suitable Christmas visit 🎄

#art & #philanthropy are all around us in London: this little mitten by Tracy Emin outside the Foundling Museum remembers all the tokens, left with babies by mothers couldn't keep them #foundlingmuseum
