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.

Romanian Cultural Institute

Romania's cultural institute in a Belgrave Square mansion it has owned since 1936, with a concert hall named for Enescu and a gallery named for Brancusi.

Film programmeExhibitionsLibraryConcerts

Romania bought 1 Belgrave Square in 1936, and since 2006 the house has been shared between the embassy and the cultural institute - which means the institute's programme happens in the rooms of a nineteenth-century mansion rather than in a converted office. The chamber music hall, named for George Enescu, seats a hundred and seventy; the gallery is named for Constantin Brancusi; and there is a library and mediatheque to sit and read in.

The programme is concerts, exhibitions, film and talks, and more than six hundred events have run here and elsewhere in Britain since it opened. The building is one of the ones that opens for Open House each September.
