The art exhibitions and museum openings to keep an eye out for in 2023 WorldAhead
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskThose who prefer late-19th- and early-20th-century art should book tickets for “After Impressionism”, which opens at the National Gallery in London in March. The exhibition will bring together pieces by Cézanne, Van Gogh, Klimt, Matisse, Munch, Picasso and Rodin to explore how styles such as Cubism and Expressionism developed in cities across Europe. Admirers of Picasso have much else to look forward to.
As well as revamped exhibition spaces, some entirely new venues will be inaugurated in the coming year. In 2019 the South Korean government announced plans to build 186 museums and art galleries by 2023; perhaps the most intriguing is the Seoul Robot &Museum, due to open late in the year.
Other museums will tell a more human story. The International African-American Museum , first proposed in 2000, will open in Charleston, South Carolina, in January. Thesits on the former site of Gadsden’s Wharf, where an estimated 100,000 enslaved Africans disembarked. As well as drawing attention to the “gruelling and inhumane Middle Passage”, the museum aims to examine how Africans’ “labour, resistance and ingenuity and that of their descendants shaped every aspect of our world”.
The collection will draw attention to the continent’s little-known kingdoms, celebrate historical figures and highlight the influence of African empires on global civilisation. The museum’s ambition is to become a “site of pilgrimage” where visitors might “unlearn and relearn the true history, culture and civilisation of Africa from the origin of humankind to the present”.
