arts and sciences in the heart of London
Next event: Story of London Festival 1-10 October 2010
Breaking the Mould
During the Story of London Festival, the national Learned and Scientific Societies and the Royal Academy of Arts, which share Burlington House, Piccadilly, are organising a series of lectures between 1 – 8 October on their contribution to innovation in the arts, humanities and sciences over 300 years and in the future and on their continuing contribution to the intellectual and cultural landscape of London.
The series will be launched by a keynote lecture on London Learned Societies by Lord May, former Government Chief Scientific Advisor and Past-President of the Royal Society. The lectures provide public access to the Grade II* Burlington House courtyard apartments.
[Story of London is a Londonwide festival organised by the Mayor that celebrates the capital both as a place of heritage and culture and as a cutting-edge city of change and new ideas. The festival is designed to recognise and profile the world-class heritage and culture on offer across the city, supporting new collaborations and programming and encouraging new audiences to engage and share in its story. ]
