Somerset House offer exclusive private views of upcoming exhibitions
16/09/08
As one of London's leading centres for culture and the arts, Somerset House provides an inimitable venue for corporate and private entertaining, offering a choice of spectacular venues within one Grade I listed building in the heart of London's West End.
Alongside the hire of one of our venues, we are now able to offer the chance for guests to have exclusive private views of our following upcoming exhibitions:
Richard Bryant - Photography Exhibition in the Terrace Rooms
October 2008 - February 2009
Richard Bryant's London is a fitting love letter to a city with an unparalleled history and an inimitable, tangible soul. Following the path of the river, the viewer travels across London, from the bucolic West to the post-modern East. Taking in the historic monuments of Greenwich and the new city rising in Docklands, Richard Bryant's spectacular photographs capture many aspects of London from the London Eye and Houses of Parliament to charming Spitalfields and streetscapes unchanged for centuries.
£1,000 + VAT for up to one hour's private view between 6pm and 8pm

The Embankment Galleries come to life with new commissions from Bless and Martino Gamper, a week-long residency from Chosil Kil, and a series of talks by artists, designers and academics.
