Once a refuge for abandoned children in the 18th century, this hospital turned museum now houses the artefacts of London's first home for orphans. Captain Thomas Coram started the Foundling Hospital for children in 1739 with his friend, the artist William Hogarth, who also contributed paintings to the building. You can now see works at the museum by Hogarth and others such as Rysbrack, Gainsborough, Reynolds, Roubiliac, Hudson, Ramsay and Wilson.
