Royal Academy of Arts

ArtClosed · Opens 10amFrom £18Piccadilly Circus

La RA funciona desde 1768, y la Exposición de Verano (Summer Exhibition) —una muestra de convocatoria abierta que es a partes iguales obra maestra y caos— es toda una institución londinense. Las galerías principales acogen las grandes exposiciones, mientras que el Sackler Wing (conectado mediante una pasarela diseñada por David Chipperfield) muestra obra más contemporánea. Las salas de colección, de entrada gratuita, ofrecen una selección rotativa de las obras de diploma de los académicos. Las aperturas nocturnas de los viernes son excelentes.
