Somerset House experienced a significant fire incident last Saturday, which prompted the immediate response of around 125 firefighters. Fortunately, the blaze was contained to one section of the Grade I-listed building, allowing investigations to proceed without any damage to the artwork housed there. This incident has sparked a phased reopening of certain exhibitions and welcomed back the artists and startups that contribute to the creative atmosphere, highlighting the resilience of the cultural community.
We appreciate the efforts of the London fire brigade and all emergency services for their swift action during the fire. Their commitment ensured the safety of our visitors and significantly minimized potential damage to the historic site of Somerset House. The expressions of support we have received globally serve as a reminder of the importance of this venue as a revered arts destination. We are grateful to our community for their understanding amid this recovery phase.
