Royal Academy of Arts

Overview

The Royal Academy of Arts is a charitable society and art school most famous for their annual Summer Exhibition, for which anyone can submit art to be displayed in their galleries.

As well as paid exhibitions there are often free collections on display towards the back of the building - it is a bit of a maze.
