The Warburg Renaissance building project has restored the Institute’s original mixture of discovery, display, and debate, while opening its holdings and expertise to new audiences. The £14.5m renovation has enhanced the Institute’s academic resources and teaching spaces, and created new facilities for special collections, exhibitions, and events. Construction began in July 2022 and was successfully completed in September 2024.

We are excited to have opened our new gallery and auditorium, and we invite visitors to explore our transformed spaces and expanded programmes.

For those interested in accessing the unique collections of our Library, Photographic Collection and Archive, we invite you to apply for free membership.
