Visitor InformationGroup Visits
Group VisitsThe Foundling Museum is a place of national and historic interest as well as a hugely enjoyable and engaging experience. Fostering understanding and continuing the story of the Foundling Hospital is central to the work of the museum, so why not book a group visit for your friends or organisation? For school groups, click here. Booking a TourWe welcome group visits, guided or unguided. However as we are a small museum we would like to ensure that you enjoy your visit without feeling crowded, so request that you let us know of your group visit in advance to ensure that your visit does not clash with another tour or event. Admission for groups of 10 or more: £5 per person. Art Fund members (with a valid membership card) and children up to 16 years old are admitted FREE. Our Coram Cafe is also offering a special groups menu for groups of 10 people +.
Guided ToursThe Foundling Museum offers informative guided tours for groups led by our experienced guides. Alongside an introduction to the history of the Foundling Hospital, its founder Captain Thomas Coram and the children’s daily lives, the guide will take the group through two magnificent historic rooms: the Picture Gallery and the Court Room, which include many important 18th and 19th century works of art. The tour concludes in the Gerald Coke Handel Room with an introduction to the composer George Frederic Handel and his involvement with the Foundling Hospital. Guided tours last between 45 minutes and an hour, and following their tour visitors are able to view the Museum at leisure. Tours can be tailored for groups with a specific area of interest, please specify when booking. Please download your group booking form.
