Scope and content
Adopt a Lion donation form printed with detail of partially restored lion heads in the RSA Research Room.
The RSA aimed to raise over £500,000 to repair, restore and redecorate the Adam ceilings and decorative schemes of two room within the House.
The RSA offered Fellows to option of "adopting" one of the 40 miniature lions which adore the Adam frieze in the Research room. For donations of £1000 and above you can name your lion for the duration of three years. The donations were put toward the cost of carefully cleaning the plasterwork, and reinstating the original paint scheme.
Donations started at £1000, to £5000 and up to £10,000
