Historic London meeting venue
Originally two rooms, the Library was converted into a single room to be used as a temporary lecture space while our iconic Theatre was under construction in 1800. Once the Theatre was completed, the space became a Library dedicated to research and innovation.
The Library décor harks back to the beginning of the Royal Institution venue with book-lined walls, busts of historic scientists and original features such as the circular mirror suspended above the fireplace.
The circular mirror has remained in place since it was commissioned in 1802, and it can be seen in the illustrations of the room featured in the Men of Science 1807–8 print which is on display in the Georgian Room.
