The Royal Academy of Archaeology of Belgium (
French: Académie Royale d'Archéologie de Belgique,
Dutch: Koninklijke Academie voor Oudheidkunde van België), founded in 1842, is a
learned society in
Belgium that works to promote research and education in the fields of
archaeology and
art history. In a federal country with most powers devolved to the
regions and communities, it is one of the few cultural institutions operating at a federal level.[1] Long established in the
Royal Museums of Art and History, since 2009 it has met in the
Academy Palace.[2]
