Within this room, you will find an array of notable pieces including William Wilton’s plaster ceiling, a magnificent large-scale painting by William Hogarth, and a small roundel of the Charterhouse by a young Thomas Gainsborough. Many of these artists held Governor positions at the Foundling Hospital. Discussions during their meetings and dinners played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Royal Academy.
This room is one of three historic interiors from the original eighteenth-century building, recreated in the Museum, making it a popular choice for receptions, dinners and wedding ceremonies.
