Poetry Buildings is a group exhibition at the National Poetry Library, on Level 5 of the Royal Festival Hall, running from 12 March 2026 to 10 January 2027. It brings together visual poets and artists whose work explores the relationship between poetry and architecture.
The selection spans a long period, from work of the ancient world through the concrete poetry movement of the 1950s to poets and makers working today. Entry is free and no ticket is needed; the library is open from Tuesday to Sunday and closed on Mondays.
The exhibition is a good reason to visit the library itself, which holds the largest public collection of modern poetry in the world, including a large stock of pamphlets and magazines from small presses.
