Come and explore 300 years of collecting history at our Burlington House premises as part of Open Fridays for our Sensing History project

10.30am-4pm FREE ENTRY (last admission 3.40pm)

We are now open on most Fridays during term-time and would like to welcome visitors to our Burlington House premises. Drop in to enjoy a visit to the lower ground floor of our London premises and learn about our history, the rooms, and the collections within.

Our popular staircase tours take place at 12pm and 3pm, subject to staff and volunteer availability. Lasting 30-40 minutes, these introductions to the Society and its founders end with an opportunity to view our stunning Victorian library, with its outstanding collection amassed over 300 years. Please note, these tours are not bookable in advance.

To make sure our Open Fridays are accessible to all, we offer bookable slots at 10.30am for visitors with additional needs. Get in touch to find out more.

Open Fridays are part of our Sensing History at the Society of Antiquaries project, which is kindly supported by National Lottery Heritage Fund, John Murray Charitable Trust, Movement For Good, & Museum Development London.
