No doubting the super display spaces, good toilets, lots of eateries (Including one in the courtyard) BUT the enjoyment of a visit depends on the current exhibition(s). This year's Summer Exhibition is a no no as far I am concerened. They have messed about with the layout and the delicious little Weston room which used to be wallpapered with small... More

We're Friends of the Royal Academy and so go quite frequently.

For a quick visit the Sackler Gallery upstairs usually has an interesting collection.
