VIDEO: Royal Academy Winter / Summer Exhibition 2020

If you are NOT optimistic about:

• the Summer Exhibition 2020 (in the Winter) Exhibition (6 October 2020 — 3 January 2021) at the Royal Academy of Arts reopening before it closes (given the new variant constraints / Tier 4 etc)
• and/or getting to London even if it does - given what's happening where you are
• and/or you're sticking to a policy of an abundance of caution (that's me)
• AND have got the odd 55 minutes to spare.....

why not view the exhibition via this Virtual Tour Video made by the Royal Academy of Arts

For the first time in history, the Summer Exhibition will fall in winter. But at the RA, summer is a state of mind, not a time of year. Discover a myriad of works by household names and emerging artists inside our joyous festival of art.
