Experience culture in London: you want to see these exhibitions this spring
Let it rain, let it rain: Well, preferably not, of course - but if it does happen - London is bursting with the most beautiful museums with nice exhibitions. Then the rain will become less bad. One exhibition is even more impressive than the other. On a rainy afternoon, for example, you can visit the Victoria & Albert Museum or visit the impressive Tate Modern. Do you really want to see something new and are you prepared to buy a ticket? Then these exhibitions in London are highly recommended for this spring.
In this exhibition at The Design Museum you get an intimate glimpse into the world of legendary singer Amy Winehouse. Personal photos and videos of her performances, framed drafts of her lyrics and her signature outfits can be seen everywhere. The nice thing about this exhibition is that Amy is not portrayed in a negative way, as is often the case in the media. Here you see her as a jazz musician who lived for her passion.
The exhibition is open until April 10, 2022, so be quick.
Step into a true fantasy world at this exhibition in the Tate Modern museum. Surrealism is a movement so fascinating that when you look at these works you will think: “Oh, I never imagined it like that.” From Salvador Dalí to René Magritte, be amazed and inspired and, above all, encouraged to see the world in a different way. On display until August 29, 2022. Moreover, Tate Modern is always a good plan: the Turbine Hall is and remains an impressive place (and the gift shop, we know, is the favorite ending of the visit).
For those who are afraid of spiders, this may not be the right exhibition, as this artist's most famous work is giant spiders. What can you expect at the exhibition? Installations, sculptures and abstract collages. It's the type of exhibition where you have to walk around the gallery a few times so you can take it all in. On display until May 15, 2022 at the Southbank Center located on the Thames.
Louise Bourgeois: The Woven Child
The Victoria & Albert Museum always goes big when it comes to their exhibitions. The latest crowd-puller in collaboration with Gucci will open on March 19, 2022: an exhibition about men's fashion. We look at issues surrounding gender through the eyes of designers, clothing makers and artists. Especially in the times we live in now, the exhibition is incredibly relevant, so get it to do list!
Fashioning Masculinity: The Art of Menswear
One of the best-known British artists of the 20th century is Walter Sickert. He left his mark on painting that helped shape modern British art today. His work is considered complex and radical, just like the infamous artist himself. The exhibition will be on view from April 28, 2022 to September 19, 2022 at Tate Britain in chic Pimlico. The building itself is a work of art to see, let alone all the splendor that hangs inside.
The Natural History Museum is fun for the whole family. A first visit to London is not complete without taking a look at this museum, which is almost reminiscent of the film Night at the Museum. Once you have finished viewing the giant dinosaur skeletons and the blue whale in the main hall, you can continue to the photography exhibition. 100 photos from the best nature photographers that tell the story of the world we live in. You can admire this exhibition until June 5, 2022.
