How do I find the building?
We are a big white marble building on Euston Road, almost opposite Euston train station. You will see banners hanging from the building that advertise current exhibitions. Entry is either via two revolving doors or via the accessible door in between them.
The Cult of Beauty is at its quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, you may need to queue. If the queue extends beyond the queueing area, we will give you a timed ticket which gives you free entry 30 minutes later.
You can reach us by train, Underground, bus and bike.
