Make An Architectural Pilgrimage: From Rome to Kyoto, our pick of 12 landmarks that will change the way you see the world, by Raul Barreneche. Seventh in the listing: SIR JOHN SOANE’S MUSEUM, LONON Architect John Soane, designer of the Bank of England and the Dulwich Picture Gallery, rebuilt three adjacent town houses from 1792 to 1823 and filled them with his treasures—an Egyptian sarcophagus, Roman marbles, Hogarth's The Rake's Progress. Displayed chockablock, they now form part of a connoisseur's legacy in a museum that retains the character of a private house while its clever design accommodates a collector's zeal. www.soane.org
