====================================================================
The Burlington House lectures represent a new joint interdisciplinary initiative organised in conjunction with the Royal Academy and the five learned societies that occupy this historic building.
Since 1874, Burlington House has been home to:
Society of Antiquaries
Royal Academy of Arts
Linnean Society
Geological Society
Royal Astronomical Society
Royal Society of Chemistry (formerly The Chemical Society)
Together, the societies contribute to the cultural, historic, natural and scientific cultural environments.
The organisations are exploiting their close proximity to work together on breaking down the barriers between the arts and sciences, improving cross-fertilisation and communication between the disciplines.
The continuing programme of joint public lectures and events allows everyone to access the exciting scientific and artistic output of the societies.
