Royal Society of Arts Dear teachers,
I came across the expression The Royal Society of Arts and need to translate it. I don't know how to translate it because "arts" can mean "the making, showing, or performance of painting, acting, dancing, music, etc.". It can also mean "social sciences". I failed to find it in my dictionary so I referred to my encyclopedia and found the following:
Royal Society, The Royal Society of London for t he Advancement of Science. But I can't find "The Royal Society of Arts".
Could you please tell me what "arts" mean here?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.
