二、根据材料内容选择最佳答案。If you are looking for somewhere special to visit in London, we may have the answer for you: Sir John Soane's Museum. The museum is one of London's best - kept secrets, and it's free to explore. Sir John, a great architect (建筑师), lived in London during the 18th century. The most amazing thing is that his house still looks exactly the same as he once lived there. In fact, visiting the house is just like travelling back in time.
There are three floors which are open to the public. You can start on the first floor. This used to be Sir John's work area. You can see some paintings on the walls about his family and life. They are really nice. You can learn a lot from the paintings. Next, you can go downstairs to the ground floor. Here you will find many old paintings. For example, there are a series of interesting paintings about life in the 18th century in London. Finally, go to the underground floor. It's full of thousands of valuable objects, such as sculptures (雕塑) and models of famous buildings from all over the world. Walking around this part of the house is a bit like a treasure hunt.
The museum is not far from the British Museum. It's only about ten minutes' walk. You can enjoy a free guided tour every Saturday at 2:30 p.m., but it is also great fun to walk about by yourself.
So now you know where to go next time you're in London. I guarantee that it's an experience you won't forget!
