Historic Event Venue
Historic event venue
The Conversation Room was originally two rooms, one for the reading of foreign newspapers and the other a temporary library.
In 1866 the partition between the two rooms was removed, and the first version of the Conversation Room was created.
Today you can bring this scientific heritage to life at your own event at the Royal Institution with a scientific demonstration for your guests on the Mezzanine. Speak to your dedicated event manager about adding one of our explosive demonstrations to your event.
