Free to the world since 1753, the British Museum houses one of the greatest collections of human cultural history and a very special venue particularly for corporate events. The Great Court itself – Europe’s largest glass-roofed courtyard - offers an exceptional and unrivalled setting for large dinners and receptions or awards ceremonies for up to 1,500 guests, with the beautifully restored Reading Room at its centre.
