View photographs of the Royal Academy's home, Burlington House
The Royal Academy is opening the doors of its home, Burlington House, giving visitors a chance to explore its four centuries of architecture. Built as a town-palace during the 1660s on the then outskirts of London, Burlington House has been added to, modified and adapted over the years by such celebrated figures as William Kent, Sydney Smirke, Richard Norman Shaw and Foster + Partners. Over the weekend, special access will be given to the John Madejski Fine Rooms, Library and the RA Schools.
