Royal Academy Of Arts
Housing the finest collection of British artwork in the world, the Royal Academy of Arts is one of many cultural treasures in London. Visitors are treated to a permanent collection of British masters, including Spencer, Hockney, Reynolds, and Gainsborough. It also boasts a wide range of rotating exhibitions; spanning an array of periods, styles, and countries of origin. While museums are often judged on their collections alone, a desire to develop new artists has always been a central mission of the Royal Academy. The two most prominent demonstrations of this commitment are the RA Schools and the annual Summer Exhibition. As the only such post graduate program available in the UK, a small number of students are able to hone their skills on site in pursuit of this coveted degree. And every single June, for over 240 years, the Summer Exhibition highlights the Royal Academy calendar. Artists selected to participate, show and sell thousands of pieces of artwork in a magnificent spectacle that exposes emerging stars to the art loving public.
