Best Bits

With a colourful history spanning over 275 years and a range of unique things to see and do, The Foundling Museum is one of the most interesting places to visit in London. The Foundling Museum explores the history of the Foundling Hospital, the UK’s first children’s charity and first public art gallery.

Celebrate the power of individuals and the arts to change lives and discover the moving story of the Foundling Hospital and the children who grew up there through amazing artworks and objects. Many of the stories and themes are as relevant today as they ever were. The Museum is designed with young visitors in mind. Explore the Collection and don't miss the daily activities for families! 

  • Hetty Feather Trail - Explore the Collection and Hetty’s life at the Foundling Hospital through a range of art-based activities. (Available from the Museum Shop for £1.50) 
  • Family Art Trolley - packed with art-based activities for adults and children to do together as they explore the exhibition. (FREE) 
  • Dressing-up Rail - Dress up as a foundling boy or girl using historical costumes (FREE)

LittleBird Top Tip

Why not make the most of your visit? The Foundling Museum does not have a café on the premises. However, they do have a deal with Leon (in the Brunswick Centre) where a discount can be used on food and drink purchases, ask the team at reception for full details. During fine weather, families can also visit Coram's Fields, which is a 5-minute walk away, where there is a cafe and lovely space to have a picnic.
