Everything about The Royal Scottish Academy Building totally explained
The
Royal Scottish Academy Building, situated in the centre of
Edinburgh, was designed by
William Henry Playfair during the
19th century. Along with the adjacent
National Gallery of Scotland, their
neo-classical design helped transform Edinburgh in to a modern day
Athens of the North.
The building was erected as a home to the Scottish Academy, which was formed in
1826 by a group of contemporary artists. In
1838 the academy was granted a royal charter and became the
Royal Scottish Academy, the national academy of sciences in
Scotland.
The building, along with the
National Gallery of Scotland was remodelled in
1912 by
William Thomas Oldrieve.
The building is managed by the National Galleries of Scotland but a 1910 Order grants the RSA permanent administration offices in the building. The building was recently refurbished as part of the
Playfair Project.
Exhibition space is shared throughout the year by the RSA with the NGS and other exhibiting societies: the
Society of Scottish Artists,
Visual Arts Scotland and the
Royal Society of Watercolourists.
