International Culture

The national cultural institutes and diaspora cultural centres that keep a public door in London, with the libraries, galleries, film programmes and language classes they run, and the international festivals that return to the same ground each year. Much of what they put on is free.

Austrian Cultural Forum

About a hundred and fifty events a year, every one of them free, from a Knightsbridge townhouse.

ExhibitionsLibraryConcertsGermanFree entry

The Forum is the cultural section of the Austrian embassy and has been running since 1956, when cultural diplomacy was a new idea and a country rebuilding its identity had good reason to try it. It puts on around a hundred and fifty events a year, half of them at Rutland Gate and half elsewhere in Britain, across music, visual art, film, literature, theatre, dance and science.

Admission to all of them is free, which for a recital in a Knightsbridge townhouse is a remarkable thing. There is a library upstairs.
