RA Tart Up

The Royal Academy of Arts has unveiled a £50 million tart up to celebrate its 250th anniversary in 2018. The project, designed of course by Sir David Chipperfield RA, includes an internal bridge that will allow the public to walk from the Piccadilly end to Mayfair. There will be a lecture theatre and more exhibition space to display the work of old RAs currently in storage (CLICK). Shame the RA doesn't have any decent new artists, just gimmick peddlers that give the place a bad name.
