During the renovation of its building, the Institute invites you to join us beyond its walls! Having opened to the public for six in situ preview programmes between 2019 and 2023, the Institute closed its doors in December 2023 to make way for the restoration and extension of its building, which will continue until 2027.
Our offices remain open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
