About The British Museum
The British Museum in London is a renowned public institution with the world’s largest collection of eight million works. It covers human history, art, and culture from ancient times to today, making it a major destination for learning and exploration.
the challenge
While London offers numerous venues, few combine historical significance with modern amenities, making it difficult to host truly memorable gatherings. The newly redesigned app addresses this need by offering a comprehensive, user-friendly solution that showcases the museum's stunning spaces and the full range of options for customising an event.

The British Museum Events app stands out by offering a seamless blend of history and modernity for event organisers. It provides detailed information on diverse hire spaces, approved suppliers, and customisable options to fit any occasion. Key features include a sleek new interface for easier navigation, high-resolution imagery, and the ability to personalise sections for your event, allowing guests to engage with agendas, menus, and more.
