The Space

Our Second Floor Galleries, the Blavatnik Fine Rooms, are formerly home to three of the most prominent artistic, scientific and historical societies  – the Royal Academy, Royal Society and Society of Antiquaries. Sumptuously decorated with stunning ceilings, beautiful fireplaces and ornate door handles, the Fine Rooms consist of a suite of six galleries that span the entire Second Floor of the building.

Showcasing some of the greatest and most-loved works from The Courtauld’s collection from the Renaissance through to the 18th century, the works on this floor are dedicated to the Italian Renaissance, Northern Renaissance as well as 7th and 18th century Europe. Major highlight include Botticelli’s large-scale The Trinity With Saints, The Courtauld’s celebrated collection of works by Peter Paul Rubens and comprehensive collection of decorative arts which includes ornate ceramics and rare Islamic metalwork.

Our Rubens and Baroque Room is the Gallery's premier private dining space and can accommodate up to 50 guests seated. This room is the perfect setting for any intimate private dining event and guests are welcome to explore all six of the Fine Rooms throughout the evening. Our world-renowned and carefully curated art collection provides the perfect conversation starter and our seasoned event suppliers can work with you to create a menu that works for you and your guests.

The Blavatnik Fine Rooms can accommodate up to 200 guests for a standing breakfast or evening reception or 50 guests seated for private dining.
