I have seen some amazing exhibitions at the Royal Academy of the Arts, Including Tracey Emin/ Edvard Munch and Francis Bacon, Man and Beast. Both breathtaking curated exhibitions, which were worth every penny for a ticket. Rich for its history, The RA is an amazing place for anyone to spend day and immerse themselves in the art on offer. Lovely Cafes, gift shop and free lockers provided to store belongings. Accommodating for all and fantastic staff, cannot recommend enough.

Went to see the Francis Bacon: Man and Beast exhibition in March 2022 the venue is easy to get to from Piccadilly Circus tube station. The places is nice and well staffed, the exhibition we saw was well curated but quite expensive about £25 a ticket, it was incredibly busy despite being after 4pm on a Saturday afternoon. However it was worth seeing and given the lists involved in obtaining art from across the world, some pieces had to be in chilled cases, makes the cost understandable. Gift shop was the right. I’m of education and fun.

What a marvellous building and space. Went to see Francis Bacon and was blown away by how it had been curated.
9 Galleries which you are expertly walked round by the Guide book.
Wonderful chandeliers too!
You still have to book slot times but it was busy nonetheless.

Had to drag myself away from the Kyosai exhibition - fantastic to see so many works that haven't seen the light for many years. Also, most are large scale works, and sensitively set out in the spacious galleries. Worth the trip to London for.

Summer exhibition this was absolutely stunning, well curated, clearly a labor of love and there was such a good spread of art. The band playing and free drinks were a really nice touch.

It's an interesting space to visit even when there isn't a special exhibition, this is my second visit and the first was also wonderful.

Summer Exhibition was out of this world! Visited on the last day before closing, and the buzz was real. Highly recommend going every year, I know I'll make it a regular on our calendar.

Facilities at the RA are well equipped, clean and presentable. Cafe looked nice especially in the courtyard. As well as pleasant toilets.

Wonderful welcoming warm staff (apart from the lady in the cloakroom grumpily complaining that people kept coughing on her!).

Fabulous exhibition of William Kentridge today. Pricey ticket, but so much bang for your buck. Worth every penny. Utterly loved it - well done RA!
