On 19th May 2018 the Royal Academy of Arts opens the doors to new spaces for displays, a 250-seat lecture hall, immersive architecture installations, projects by students from the RA art school and one two-acre campus, unified for the first time. Celebrating its 250th birthday in style, the RA's two buildings, Burlington House on Piccadilly and Burlington Garden, will be linked together for the first time. Inaugurating the new galleries will be an exhibition on the pioneering landscape work of Tacita Dean. You can also visit two free exhibitions on 'The Making of an Artist', one showinghighlights from the gallery's collection, the other showing plaster casts from the early years of the RA Schools in The Vaults. From September 2018, Bob and Roberta Smith will explore the subject of gender in the history of the RA in The Ronald and Rita McAulay Gallery.
