The Open House Festival offers an opportunity for people to visit and gain access to a significant number of buildings, landscapes and neighbourhoods across London. As the world’s oldest Holocaust archive and Britain’s largest, this event gives the opportunity for visitors to enter and explore the Library and its collections.

The date that we will be participating in the festival is Saturday 21 September, from 12pm – 4pm.

As part of this event, tours of the library will be conducted regularly with our volunteer tour guides. The Tour will encompass the Library’s main archive space where you’ll have the opportunity to view our latest exhibition, Fred Kormis: Sculpting the Twentieth Century, and a chance to look around the Wolfson Reading Room.

There is no pre-booking for this event, just turn up and we’ll be delighted to welcome you in and show you around. We are excited and looking forward to welcoming you to the Library.
