"Travelling for art can be incredibly virtuous and culturally rewarding, like collecting souvenirs for your eyes (and from the post card rail in the gift shop). Remembering to research what is on before I book flights is a lesson I learnt all too well after I missed the Metropolitan Museum's fashion exhibition in 2016 by one day. As a fashion obsessed 20 something, I did not take this well and have since improved my itinerary planning and exhibition calendar checking."
"As a fashion obsessed 20 something, I did not take this well and have since improved my itinerary planning and exhibition calendar checking. 2026 is set to be a vintage year for fashion exhibitions worldwide, with plenty on offer from Los Angeles to Durham, Antwerp to Walthamstow. Covering men's 17th century cufflinks to Queen Elizabeth II balmoral kilt; here is my guide to what is worth the culture points and air miles."
Travel for art can be highly rewarding and culturally enriching, comparable to collecting visual souvenirs from museum gift shops. Careful research of exhibition calendars and dates prevents missed opportunities and travel regrets, as demonstrated by instances of missing major exhibitions by a single day. Improved itinerary planning and exhibition-calendar checking reduce such risks. The year 2026 presents a strong global program of fashion exhibitions across Los Angeles, Durham, Antwerp and Walthamstow. Exhibitions will span subjects from men's 17th-century cufflinks to Queen Elizabeth II's Balmoral kilt. A selective approach helps determine which exhibitions justify the travel and cultural investment.
