The Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Piccadilly is one of the leading art galleries of London. Most people enter the Royal Academy through the front entrance on Piccadilly. However, the back entrance is just as impressive and for the first time in the building’s history, both front and back are now connected. Gone are the days where you had to walk through the magnificent Burlington Arcade to get from one side to the other. The Royal Academy had a major refurbishment a few years ago. This means there is now a permanent collection on display which includes a huge copy of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper and copies of paintings by Raphael. The refurbishment also allowed for three major exhibitions to run at the same time in their different galleries.
