The event debuted last year to celebrate the £28m transformation of Exhibition Road. This year it was even more exclusive, with only 150 invited guests split between the three museums.

Each group got the chance to experience the diversity of event spaces at the three venues, as the museums showcased separate spaces for each stage of the night.

Attendees included industry professionals from JP Morgan, Amazon, American Express, and the Guardian.
 
Guests at the Natural History Museum were treated to a reception in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition space, whilst the next groups moved on to the Central Hall for main course and dessert. The Science Museum held the reception in its Exploring Space, the main course in the Making the Modern World gallery, and desert in the Wellcome Wing. The reception at the V&A was held in the newly renovated Fashion Galleries, whilst dinner and dessert were served in the Dome.
 
Admirable Crichton catered at the Natural History Museum, which featured entertainment from Sternberg Clarke, event production by Event Concept, flowers by Veevers Carter, and furnishings by Great Hire.

At the Science Museum food was provided by Payne and Gunter, Events TSL supplied event technology, Wheathill Music provided entertainment, and Hayford & Rhodes supplied flowers.

Create Food and Party Design catered for guests at the V&A. The lighting was by White Light, flowers were provided by Detta Phillips, and furnishings by Great Hire.

Photography was provided by Rick Bronks at Satureyes, and design by An Agency Called Bert.
 
Joanne Wood, events manager at the Natural History Museum, said: "Once again, the event was a great success, exceeding all expectations; the guests were treated to an unforgettable night. We would like to thank all the suppliers for helping us deliver such an exceptional evening."
