Richard Dadd exhibition at Royal Academy

Entities: Royal Academy of Arts · Tom Holland · Musée du Luxembourg · Richard Dadd · Andy Warhol

Overview

The Royal Academy in London opened a major retrospective of 19th‑century painter Richard Dadd on 23 July 2026. The show presents his intricate fairy‑world canvases, archival material from Bethlem Hospital’s Museum of the Mind, and commentary on how his schizophrenia influenced his work. Curated with input from art historians and mental‑health specialists, the exhibition marks the first comprehensive survey of Dadd’s oeuvre since the 1970s.

A follow‑up announcement on 27 July 2026 confirmed that the Dadd exhibition will remain on view at the Royal Academy until 25 October 2026, reinforcing its role as a centerpiece of the museum’s summer programme.

The same announcement also highlighted a concurrent exhibition of Andy Warhol drawings in Paris, a free “War is Hell: Childhood in War” display in London, and the release of a new Spider‑Man film, but the core ongoing situation remains the extended run of the Richard Dadd exhibition in London.
