Audience
This event is for Everyone

Join us for an exclusive pre-opening tour of our brand new exhibition - Richard Rogers: Talking Buildings. Our expert curator will provide an insight into the show before the Museum opens to the general public.

This exhibition focuses on modernist and high-tech architect Richard Rogers’ favourite projects from 1967 to 2020. From the Zip Up House and the Pompidou Centre, to Lloyds of London and the Millennium Dome, Talking Buildings paints a vivid and immersive portrait of an architect who never stopped developing his social, environmental, ethical and political passions, and for whom buildings were the physical manifestation of his beliefs.

Richard Rogers was an architect passionate about public spaces and integrating public space into private commissions. His architecture offered radically innovative and diverse solutions to essential concerns, making manifest the human-centred thinking and scale at the heart of his designs. His style was very personal, and his voice can still be heard through his architecture today. His public architecture opens up forums for many voices to intersect. The show will feature drawings and film, and provide an insight into the work and architectural voice of one of our leading modernist architects.

This event is open to everyone, particularly enthusiasts of architecture and architectural history, modernism, the development of new ideas, and the idea of expressing a voice through inspirational design.

Richard Rogers: Talking Buildings runs from Wednesday 18 June - Sunday 21 September 2025.
