Gallery IX, Burlington House after the explosion of a German bomb in 1917. An air-raid on 24 September 1917 caused considerable damage to the galleries of the Royal Academy of Arts, Piccadilly, London. Money was received from the Government to assist with the repairs which were completed just in time for the preparation of the Summer Exhibition. A small tablet inserted in the doorway leading to Gallery IX commemorates the event.
