The Royal Academy of Arts in London (Royal Academy of Arts) is a famous place for art, where there are creative activities, exhibitions and debates about art. The Academy was founded in 1768 by a group of painters, sculptors and architects, with the aim of raising the standard and education of art in England. The Academy is managed by artist members and funded by art lovers.

The academy has two main buildings, Burlington House and Burlington Gardens, located in central London. These two buildings are unique and beautiful structures, reflecting the combination of tradition and modernity. Burlington House is an ancient mansion built in the 17th century, in Palladian style. Burlington Gardens is a building also built in the 17th century, but later renovated and expanded in the 19th century, in an Italianate style. The two buildings are connected by a transparent glass bridge, designed by architect David Chipperfield, as part of the academy's restructuring project in 2018.

The Academy organizes many art exhibitions and events, from classical collections to contemporary works, from famous artists to emerging artists. One of the academy's most prominent exhibitions is the Summer Exhibition, which is the largest modern art exhibition in the world, held annually since 1769. The academy also offers courses, lectures, discussions and performances about the arts for the public.
