It is a great option for listeners who want that winter-magic feel without leaving London.Art lovers have a lot to choose from. IanVisits highlights a special exhibition at the V&A called Enthoven Unboxed: 100 Years of Collecting Performance, marking a century of the museum’s legendary theatre and performance collection, with an A-to-Z of costumes, posters, and props from London’s stages. Over at Guildhall Art Gallery, Evelyn De Morgan: The Modern Painter in Victorian London brings together luminous, symbolist works by one of the city’s most intriguing late-19th-century artists, ideal for listeners looking for a quieter cultural escape in the Square Mile.For something more contemporary, Tate Modern’s Gathering Ground exhibition brings together pieces from the Tate collection that explore how environmental and social justice overlap, inviting visitors to rethink their relationship with the natural world.
