Transport for London and the Royal Academy are partnering for the first time to offer customers using public transport 2-for-1 entry into one of the blockbuster exhibitions of the year by internationally acclaimed artist Kerry James Marshall.
Kerry James Marshall: The Histories exhibition showcases vivid and large-scale paintings that place the black figure front and centre.
Visitors to the exhibition can expect to find a collection of Marshall’s work featuring his lived experiences, as well as the development of civil rights more broadly.
The 2-for-1 offer for the Royal Academy of Arts – offering a potential saving of more than £25 – is valid until December 31.
This offer can only be redeemed in person. See details at tfl.gov.uk/deals
Founded in 1768, the Royal Academy is one of our city’s must-visit attractions.
To take advantage of the offer, visitors simply need to show proof of their journey on the free TfL Go app, a valid Oyster photocard or travelcard upon arrival at the Royal Academy.
“Londoners and visitors can enjoy reduced entry into a number of London’s attractions by simply using our services and this now includes the historic Royal Academy of Arts,” said Emma Strain, customer director at TfL.
“October is the start of Black History Month and Kerry James Marshall: The Histories exhibition offers astonishing visions of Black America, and we encourage all our customers to take a look at this must-see exhibition for less.”
TfL’s partnerships with leading attractions across the capital aim to encourage people to use public transport to explore London’s cultural gems. TfL discount offers also include Historic Royal Palaces, HMS Belfast, and Royal Museums Greenwich Cutty Sark and Royal Observatory Greenwich.
The Royal Academy on Piccadilly is located close to four central London Tube stations: Bond Street, Green Park, Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus. Customers using these stations will see a specially designed eye-catching poster on the whiteboards by ticket gates which encourages people to visit the exhibition and take advantage of the 2-for-1 offer.
