L’Accademia Britannica (The British School at Rome, BSR) è un centro per la ricerca sull’archeologia, storia e cultura dell’Italia, e per l’arte e l’architettura contemporanea. Accoglie studiosi e artisti provenienti dal Regno Unito e dal Commonwealth.
Fondata nel 1901, la BSR trovò la propria sede definitiva in occasione dell’Esposizione Internazionale del 1911 nel padiglione britannico realizzato nella Valle Giulia dall’eminente architetto Sir Edwin Lutyens.
I programmi Fine Arts e Humanities dimostrano la natura interdisciplinare dell’Accademia quale centro attivo e impegnato del dibattito culturale attuale, e consentono ai residenti di presentare il proprio lavoro, promuovendo così lo scambio intellettuale tra artisti, architetti e studiosi italiani e quelli residenti nelle altre accademie straniere.

The BSR’s history dates from 1901, when it was founded as a ‘school’ for research in archaeology and Italian studies. It occupies an elevated site in the Valle Giulia on the site of the 1911 British Pavilion. The Pavilion was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and then adapted by him to become the home of the British School at Rome. A major project of renovations and new buildings was completed in February 2004.
The Fine Arts and the Humanities programmes demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature of the School as happening and engaged centre for current cultural debate, and enable resident scholars to present their research, as well as promoting intellectual exchange with the wide range of artists and scholars at the other foreign academies in Rome and further afield in Rome and Italy
