Parties and other private events

We'll provide sound systems, excellent food, stage design, ice sculptors and spectacular scenery to create unforgettable parties, bar or bat mitzvahs and other private celebrations.

We've played host to spectacular parties, ceremonies, wedding receptions and other private functions, and we're always interested in new and creative ideas for getting the most out of our venues. The Museum has witnessed performances by legends such as: 

  • Tina Turner
  • Elton John
  • Tom Jones  
  • Stevie Wonder
  • The Strokes
  • Vampire Weekend

When you hold an event at the Museum you benefit from our 25 years of expertise in event management, your own personal Event Manager and Operations Manager, a top security team, cleaners, porters and more.
