Open House London is the world’s largest architecture festival, giving free public access to 800+ buildings, walks, talks and tours over one weekend in September each year. Swedenborg House has regularly taken part in Open House for the past 20 years, opening its doors to allow the general public to explore its meeting rooms, library spaces and special displays.
On Monday 16 September there will be the chance to join a small group for a guided tour of Swedenborg House led by James Wilson, editor and former librarian of the Swedenborg Society. James will give a tour of the architectural features and provide an overview of the history of both the building and the Swedenborg Society as an organization. James has previously given tours of Swedenborg House to Open City, Secret London, the London Appreciation Society and many different university groups.
Visitors will also get a chance to view (free of charge) the current exhibition at Swedenborg House, Swedenborg’s Lusthus: Into the Garden, which features the work of contemporary artists alongside many treasures from the Swedenborg Society’s archives.
