There are plenty of museum shows to spark interest this year, and many of them are well worth trips across the country to enjoy.
While visitors may notice certain zeitgeist-influenced threads between some of the major shows, there are also exquisite exhibitions that travel thousands of years back in time, or deep into little-known parts of the natural world.
ArtsHub has surveyed what’s in store and selected a shortlist of highlights to feel especially excited about.
