Events and corporate entertaining
It is the exclusive privilege of the Museum’s
Global Partners to use the galleries for dinners and
receptions.
The magnificent Great Court can accommodate
receptions for up to 1,000 people, while the exquisite Manuscript
Saloon is the perfect setting for a small dinner of around 20
guests.
Private visits for groups of VIPs can be
arranged to see fascinating hidden corners of the Museum such as
the conservation studios and storage vaults or special tours can be
created highlighting particular world regions or themes.
