Urgent update about COVID-19

Due to the government’s advice to limit social contact at this time, our public buildings and exhibitions at RIBA 66 Portland Place, London (including the gallery, library, bookshop and bar) and RIBA North, Liverpool are now closed.

In addition, all physical events from the RIBA are now either cancelled or postponed until further notice. If you have booked onto an event, you will receive an email from the event organiser.

See what architecture has to offer

As the Royal Institute of British Architects, we're uniquely positioned to share the best of what architecture has to offer in our exhibitions and displays, and have been curating exhibitions since 1921.

Our exhibitions programme looks closely into architectural movements, styles and ideas from throughout history. The exhibitions showcase items from our world-class collections and draw on our relationships with architects, too.
