The Royal Academy of Arts (RA) is an art institution based in Burlington House on Piccadilly in London. Founded in 1768, it has a unique position as an independent, privately funded institution led by eminent artists and architects. Its purpose is to promote the creation, enjoyment and appreciation of the visual arts through exhibitions, education and debate.
The current exhibition is the critically acclaimed The Loneliness of the Soul: Tracey Emin / Edvard Munch and this will be the last chance to view this show before it closes in summer.
