Andrea Palladio

If you're into architecture, a forthcoming exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts is a must: Andrea Palladio: His Life and Legacy, from 31 January to 13 April. If you're clueless about architecture, the above Model of the Villa Capra (1970) shows a classic Palladio design. This is the first exhibition devoted to Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) to be held in London for over 30 years and celebrates the quincentenary of his birth. Bad news: admission fees.
