Honey at Dusk: a Bank of England Museum late

Explore the power of Honey with the Bank of England's latest exhibition

Stay late at the Bank of England Museum and experience The Power of Honey: Food, Finance and the Golden Age of Fraud after hours.

Created by Bompas & Parr with the British Museum of Food, sponsored by Visa and the City of London, this immersive exhibition transforms the museum into a space of scent, sound and surveillance - where live bees, fake honey and financial deception collide.

At the heart of the evening is the Bee-nomics Inspection Hive: a custom-built live hive bringing working bees into the Museum. Watch as the colony communicates, defends and responds to threats - a living, moving model of vigilance in action.

As the Museum opens its doors after dark, you’ll be able to explore the exhibition at your own pace and dive deeper through a series of special late-only activities for an evening which brings the themes of the exhibition vividly to life.

Time: 5.15–8pm Friday 7 August
