The Soane Foundation Fellowships


 

“Hosting Soane Fellows is a very positive experience for all involved. The scholars benefit from their uninterrupted research time, and the staff gain a lot too, not just from further insight into the collection, but also from the more informal exchanges of ideas. The lasting relationships formed have continued to benefit the Museum as the Fellows progress through their careers.”  — Will Gompertz, Deborah Loeb Brice Director, Sir John Soane’s Museum

Museum Fellowships


Soane Museum Residency

Sir John Soane’s Museum Foundation Graduate Fellowship provides an annual award for scholars in graduate degree programs in the history of art or architecture, interior design, historic preservation, and the decorative arts. Each Fellowship funds a residency at the Soane Museum for academic research related to the work of Sir John Soane or Sir John Soane’s Museum. Fellows work in concert with Museum archivists and curators to utilize the collections and advance their research.

Traveling Fellowships


Travel Research Grant

Sir John Soane’s Museum Foundation Traveling Grant is an annual prize to enable students in the practices of architecture or design to travel abroad for a focused study of a historic place, period, or architect. Inspired by the young Soane’s own traveling scholarship – an award that provided him the means to draw and measure historic architecture abroad – the Grant enables critical personal interaction with built works. As with Soane’s studies, students will draw on history for insights into current design issues, creating a powerful and lasting foundation for their future professional work.
