Always associated foremost with its Summer Exhibition, the Royal Academy of Arts in London has had a collection ever since its founding in 1768. Artworks have often been given by the artists themselves, especially their diploma work on being elected a Member of the Royal Academy. Now with a collection of approaching 1,000 paintings and 350 sculptures, along with 25,000 prints and drawings, it has naturally one of the strongest collections of Modern British Art in the United Kingdom.
