Exhibitions

Host your next exhibition in our modern pavilion located on the busy Exhibition Road.

In the heart of South Kensington’s arts and science district, the Society is nestled amongst some of London’s most esteemed museums and visitor attractions. Our modern Pavilion has a superb location on the busy Exhibition Road, and offers both an interesting and versatile space to showcase exhibitions.

 

The Society's Pavilion provided the perfect venue for our inaugural exhibition, giving us the opportunity to work with the Society and its members while also allowing us to meet and engage with the general public, and an almost constant stream of visitors. The team supported us throughout the exhibition and associated events and we cannot thank them enough for their enthusiasm and dedication, we will be back!
