NOTES: This drawing has been attributed to Robert Hooke (1635-1703) with the elongated facade compared to his design for Bedlam Hospital. The royal and military nature of the design (which incorporates carved royal coats of arms, an equestrian figure and trophies) may connect it with Chelsea Hospital.

NOTES: An open competition for the museum was held and was won in 1834 by George Basevi.
