Soane Foundation Honors
Every year the Soane Foundation celebrates Sir John Soane's singular contributions as an architect and educator by bestowing Soane Foundation Honors on present day innovators, leaders, and visionaries in the fields of architecture, design, urban planning, architectural education and philanthropy at a celebratory gala dinner in an architecturally significant venue in New York City. In the last number of years, we have focused on professionals working specifically with museums and cultural institutions, as Sir John Soane was the architect of the first purpose-built public picture gallery (what we call a museum) at Dulwich in 1811. Dulwich opened to the public 200 years ago in 1817. Gala proceeds benefit Sir John Soane's Museum Foundation and ultimately the Soane Museum in London, a renowned museum of architecture set in the home of one of the most venerated architects in history.
