London - Commonwealth Education Trust (formerly Commonwealth Institute)

The Commonwealth Institute is the center for Commonwealth education and culture in Britain. Its purpose is to increase knowledge and understanding of the Commonwealth, its nations and people and the principles upon which it is based. Situated in the spectacular historic building next to Holland Park, the Institute's three floors of permanent exhibition galleries show the history, landscape, wildlife, arts, crafts and cultures of the 50 Commonwealth countries. A cultural program of special exhibitions, live events, cultural festivals, children's holiday activities and workshops is on offer to the public, and an education program for teachers and schools is also available.
