Oscar Wilde House Dublin
Writer, Raconteur and Wit
His last words on being released from Reading Jail after his infamous fall from grace, were ‘That wallpaper will have to go!’
More Info
The ultimate irony might be that the lawyer who sealed his fate had previously been none other than his great Trinity College friend, in a court case where homosexuality was deemed a criminal and heinous condition.

It would seem that Wilde had run the gamut of a life of extremes. At times being a writer whose plays, poems and wit had seen him rise
to the apex of the Edwardian social scene and become the toast of Edwardian society – the depth of his subsequent fall being of equal measure to his earlier rise to fame.

He grew up in this house at one corner of Merion Square Dublin with his wealthy parents of secure standing both his father, a very senior geologist, his warm mother, a lady who he loved completely and whose theatrical and artistic leanings informed his life.

Oscar Wilde’s infancy and brilliance lives on today, a man who ‘looked up to the stars’,
loved and lived how he wanted and made the world love him through the economy of his
wit and hilarious genius.

His mistake was to fall in love with ‘Bosie’, the son of an aristocrat, an act that caused moral outrage and scandal when dragged through the High Courts of
London.

Sir John Soane Museum London
The Soane Museum, Lincoln Inn Fields, London is acknowledged as the finest small house museum in the world.
More Info
John Soane was an exceptionally talented architect and draughtsman whose life spanned a period of the 18th Century when London was growing rapidly.

As a young man he won the most coveted Gold Medal Award for draughtsmanship a scholarship prize which allowed him to travel to Rome to study and fall in love with antiquity, and it's meaning and language which he adapted to his subsequent work.

It also gave him a hunger to buy, collect and build a museum all of his own. Paintings, artifacts, architectural fragments, moulds, curious objects, models and even an Egyptian sarcophagus all placed and exhibited within his home.

Amid this he ran his firm which thrived as he gained some of the most important
commissions including the building of the contemporary new Bank of England in Threadneedle Street.
All this is still to be seen since he had the foresight to secure in future indefinitely by Act of
Parliament preventing its dispersal after he bequeathed/gave everything to a protective Trust which presides over his huge collection to this day.

Dimensions: 3.5″w x 8″h x 2.75″d
