The British Museum

Venue Review of The British Museum

One of London’s most iconic buildings in its own right, the Grade I-listed British Museum also boasts a contemporary Foster-designed conference and events centre. The largest of the nine spaces is the BP Lecture Theatre, with 323 tiered seats, mixing functionality with style. A series of smaller rooms is available for board meetings or lunches of between 35 and 80 delegates, while a pair of spacious foyers suits receptions and exhibitions. The main gallery areas are reserved for Global Partners who, for £35,000 a year, receive a multitude of benefits, not least the exclusive use of the museum for three evening events and one breakfast event along with a private viewing of a special exhibition.
