The Foundling Hospital Art Collection, owned by Coram, was retained through the years in the Hospital buildings and headquarters until 1998, when the charity decided that these items would be best preserved and cared for by establishing a separate museum charity, the Foundling Museum. The Collection is currently in the care of the Foundling Museum and includes paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures created and donated by Hogarth and others. Read more
