Royal Academy Winter Exhibition Catalogues now online

The Royal Academy of Arts Winter loan Exhibition catalogues from their inception in 1870 to 1913 have been digitised and are now available to search and browse online.

For the first 100 years of its existence, the Royal Academy organised just one exhibition each year, the annual, Summer exhibition. It wasn’t until 1870, coinciding with its move to Burlington House, that the RA began organising an annual loan exhibition of Old Masters and works by recently deceased British artists, known from its inception and for many years as the Winter Exhibition.
