As the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) celebrates the 90th anniversary of our home at 66 Portland Place in London, a building specifically designed to house our world-leading architectural collection, which we’re looking forward to sharing with a wider audience through our collaboration with Google Arts & Culture
66 Portland Place first opened its doors in 1934, a time when the modern architectural profession was taking shape. This anniversary offers a wonderful opportunity to not only celebrate this incredible building but also delve deeper into the stories held within our collection and archives.
To mark the anniversary, we are deepening our strong partnership with Google Arts & Culture, which began in 2021. Today, we are publishing 10 new digital stories and newly captured Street View imagery of 66 Portland Place on the RIBA collection on Google Arts & Culture, for everyone to explore.
