The Boston Athenaeum is available for corporate events -- primarily evening parties and receptions -- during non-library hours. For your event, you will have exclusive access to three stunning first floor entertaining rooms and a full catering kitchen. We regret that we are unable to accomodate events with dancing due to the sculpture and art present. Discounted rates are available to non-profit organizations on specific dates. Please inquire.
