Royal Academy – ‘Spain and the Hispanic World’ is coming soon
Four millenia of Hispanic art and culture
Our first major exhibition of 2023 is opening just eight weeks from now.
Spain and the Hispanic World brings over 150 treasures from the Hispanic Society Museum & Library in New York, to the UK for the first time.
Delve into Spanish and Hispanic art and culture and uncover its masterpieces: from paintings by Goya and Velázquez to dazzling objects from Colonial Latin America.
Spain and the Hispanic World: Treasures from the Hispanic Society Museum & Library opens on 21 January.
Be one of the first to see our landmark exhibition at your Friends preview days, which are taking place on 18, 19 and 20 January.
