Discover a variety of new artistic interventions from Esi Eshun, Thandi Loewenson, Arinjoy Sen and Giles Tettey Nartey, uncover the building’s complicated history and share your hopes for the future of architecture. ⏰ Monday to Saturday: 10am to 5pm (Tuesday: 10am to 8pm), Sunday: closed 📍 66 Portland Place, London 🎟️ Free entry ➡️ Plan your visit: https://ow.ly/OiXV50RqVek
