Sir John Soane's Museum WC2A 3BP[map]

The furniture and fixtures in Sir John Soane's Museum represents a rare survival of ordinary domestic furniture of the early 19th century - the set of kitchen chairs and small domestic items such as book carriers being especially rare. The patent Kitchen range dating (1812) is thought by the kitchen historian Peter Brears to be unique. There are also many pieces designed by Soane and made for him by John Robins and other makers - including desks and unusual tables incorporating portfolio cabinets, drawers and cupboards. The bookcases in the Library-Dining Room, incorporating stained glass, and those in the Picture Room inlaid with ebony, are especially fine.

A history of the 1994 Rwandan genocide that focuses on the situation in Rwanda today through the stories of four heroic survivors: �Sim� Karamaga, Daphrose Mukangarambe, Cassien Mbanda and Ange Cendrine Mukayitesi. Through personal testimony, imagery and film, the exhibition conveys the history of Rwanda, setting the context as to how the colonial years sowed the seeds for the genocide in which one million Tutsis, and a number of moderate Hutus, were killed in 100 days. The exhibition also focuses on the need to ensure that the voices of survivors are listened to and heard, memory is kept alive, victims of the genocide are never forgotten and survivors of the genocide are supported.
