The more moderate fall weather is making us want to visit museums and galleries again. We have tracked down a few special exhibition highlights for you.

Milan is showing Picasso with a multidisciplinary approach. Many of Van Gogh's most spectacular paintings can be seen in London's National Gallery - undoubtedly a highlight of the 2024 art year.

The Parisian art institution "Centre Pompidou" is definitely worth a visit before it closes for extensive renovation work from 2025 to 2030. If you want to see rarely exhibited Gerhard Richter paintings from private collections, you should travel to Düsseldorf. The works of this exceptional German artist are among the most expensive contemporary paintings on the market.

In Vienna's art temples Albertina and Albertina Modern, you can meet Marc Chagall and the internationally successful Austrian sculptor and installation artist Erwin Wurm.

Paris - Centre Pompidou, last call before closing

From 2025, the art institution with its new, avant-garde look will close for around five years for extensive renovation work. Until then, however, visitors will still have the opportunity to experience a variety of exciting exhibitions. One of these is the "Surrealism" exhibition, which opens on September 4 and showcases masterpieces from this important art movement. The show offers fascinating insights into the world of surrealism, in which dreams, fantasy and the subconscious take center stage. It is a great opportunity to be inspired once again by the diversity and creativity of the works of art on display before the exhibition closes.

Milan - Picasso, 20 September 2024 - 2 February 2025

Milan's Palazzo Reale presents an impressive exhibition on the work of Pablo Picasso, one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Visitors have the opportunity to discover the different phases of Picasso's creation, from his Cubist works to his Surrealist experiments. The exhibition shows how Picasso revolutionized the art world by challenging traditional notions of form, color and perspective. Thanks to the meticulous selection of works on display, Palazzo Reale offers a unique opportunity to experience Picasso's artistic evolution at close hand. A visit to this exhibition is a must for anyone interested in Picasso's innovation and artistic daring.

Vienna - Fall highlights at the Albertina & Albertina Modern

In the city of art and culture, you are spoiled for choice. We suggest a tour through Marc Chagall's works in the Albertina or past the witty sculptures by the famous Austrian artist Erwin Wurm in the sister building Albertina Modern.

London - Van Gogh, 14 September 2024 - 19 January 2025

The National Gallery presents the most spectacular works by the Dutch genius, gathered from all over the world. The cultural event of 2024 in the English metropolis.

London's National Gallery presents some of the most impressive works by Vincent van Gogh, one of the most important artists of the modern era. Visitors can admire the famous painting "Sunflowers", which perfectly embodies van Gogh's characteristic style and luminous color palette. The exhibition invites visitors to delve into the emotional depths and psychic struggle of the artist. Van Gogh's art has had a lasting influence on the history of art, and continues to inspire artists the world over. A visit to this exhibition is a unique opportunity to discover Van Gogh's masterpieces in one of the world's most prestigious museums.
