Adam Smith’s Panmure House: Tercentenary Doors Open Event
Join us at Panmure House in the heart of Edinburgh for a very special Doors Open Event on 2nd April to celebrate Adam Smith’s 300th birthday!
About Adam Smith’s Panmure House: Tercentenary Doors Open Event
As a research centre, Panmure House is not normally open to the public, so we are delighted to be able to welcome visitors into the House on this special day to explore the final remaining home of Adam Smith. Set foot in the room where Smith produced a further four editions of his magnum opus The Wealth of Nations, and a further two editions of his first major work The Theory of Moral Sentiments. You will also be able to view a selection of his personal items up close, not usually available for the public.
Panmure House was rescued and revived with the aim of creating a centre of excellence for the study of contemporary economics, a place of reflection on the legacy of Adam Smith, and a venue for social and economic debate. The restoration and renovation cost £5.6m and spanned a decade before the official opening in November 2018.
Today, through dedicated research alongside Enlightenment-style cultural and public engagement programming, the Panmure House initiative aims to bridge the gaps between academia, business, and government – standing as a beacon for those who have the desire, will and influence to effect positive change in the fields that impact us all.
Panmure House are thrilled to invite you for this free event on Sunday 2 April.
Tickets are not required and visitors are welcome to arrive anytime during opening hours.
