Description

The Royal Irish Academy (RIA) (Irish: Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann), based in Dublin, is an all-Ireland independent academic body that promotes study and excellence in the sciences, and humanities and social sciences. It is one of Ireland's premier learned societies and cultural institutions, and currently has around 420 members, elected in recognition of their academic achievements. The Academy was established in 1785 and granted a royal charter in 1786.

Until the late 19th century the academy was also the owner of the main national collection of Irish antiquities. It presented its collection of archaeological artefacts and similar items, which included such famous pieces as the Tara Brooch, to what is now the National Museum of Ireland, but retains its very significant collection of manuscripts.
