Burlington House is a historic building in London, more precisely in Piccadilly.

The majestic building was built in 1665 by John Denham, an English lawyer and poet, on what were then private plots of land in north Piccadilly.

In 1704 the building passed from the hands of the counts of Burlington, in the person of Richard Boyle, 3rd earl, who, as a great admirer of the Palladian style, had external changes made with the aim of making the whole building one of the most elegant in London.

After the Earls of Burlington, the house had several owners until it was sold to the British state in 1854.

Today Burlington House is one of the largest cultural hubs for art and science in the country and houses five state bodies: the Geological Society of London (Piccadilly / east wing), the Linnean Society of London (west wing), the Royal Astronomical Society (west wing), Society of Antiquaries of London (Piccadilly / west wing), Royal Society of Chemistry (east wing).

International art exhibitions have always been organized at Burlington House. In its spaces there is also the Royal Academy of Arts which actively sets up art exhibitions ranging in all sectors: from sculpture to works of modern and contemporary art to the works of new generation artists.
