To meet the exceptional demand for tickets, the RA is extending its opening hours during the final weekend of Ai Weiwei with special viewings. For the first time in the RA’s history, the main gallery will be open for a 56-hour, round-the-clock opening during the final weekend of the exhibition.
Friends of the RA will have exclusive access to a luxury, Private Lounge during this public late opening on the final Saturday evening of the Ai Weiwei exhibition.
Set in the John Madejski Fine Rooms, Friends can enjoy comfortable seating, a private bar, live music from The Supertones and a DJ set by Lindy Layton until 1am. For a taste of what to expect, view images from the latest Friends events.
Relax away from the crowds, and enjoy the exhibition at your leisure, which is open to both Friends and the public during the final weekend of Ai Weiwei. Tickets are £15 in advance and £20 on the night, including a welcome drink of sparkling wine.
