Learn about where it all began back in 1768 from our archivist Mark Pomeroy as he regales you with tales of our founders and the eclectic cast of characters who helped shape the Royal Academy.
Get ready for our first ever Friends Week – seven days of specially planned events, activities and exclusive tours, just for you. See us up close like never before: learn, discover and marvel.
There is so much more to the Royal Academy than our world-class exhibitions programme, so step beyond our galleries and hear from our trusted Red Collars and our esteemed Academicians, take a tour of our historic library and brush up your own skills with an expert-led life drawing class in our very first Friends Week.
Friends Week events will be bookable from Wednesday 18 March at 10am and are only available to Friends of the RA and their guests.
