The Royal Academy of Arts, the world's foremost artist and architect-led institution will open its new campus to the public on Saturday 19 May 2018 as part of the celebrations for its 250th anniversary year.
The new Royal Academy will open up and reveal more of the elements that make the institution so unique: the presentation of historic treasures from its Collection and works by its Royal Academicians and the Royal Academy Schools, alongside a world-class exhibitions programme.
This transformational redevelopment designed by the internationally acclaimed architect Sir David Chipperfield CBE RA and supported by the National Lottery will provide 70% more space and unite the two-acre campus between Burlington House and Burlington Gardens. It will allow the RA to expand its exhibition programme and create new and free displays of art and architecture across the campus for visitors year-round.
