EXHIBITIONS

There is something quietly extraordinary about a masterpiece leaving the museum with which it has become identified. It is removed from its familiar gallery, carefully examined and documented, packed for an ocean crossing, and entrusted for a time to another institution and another audience. On September 26, 2026, twenty-six works from the Musée du Louvre will complete precisely such a journey when From the Louvre: Masterpieces of Islamic Art opens at the Smithsonian’s Nation

History feels different when it is encountered through the objects people once held, the newspapers they read, the places where they gathered and the ideas they left behind. On August 23, FQM Washington, D.C. Correspondent Dr. Bruno Mazali attended The Marcus Garvey Royal Collection, a historical exhibition presented by the Heritage Gallery UNIA-International Museum and Archive in Washington, D.C. The gathering became part of a broader encounter with African American history;

What if one of America’s most revealing art galleries has never really been a gallery at all? For generations, the state fair has occupied a wonderfully unruly corner of American life: livestock barns and Ferris wheels, pie contests and rodeos, prize vegetables, marching bands, blue ribbons and foods whose encounters with a deep fryer can border on performance art. Yet behind all that exuberance lies another tradition; one built by quilters, basket makers, canners, embroidere

There is something almost irresistible about the word treasure. It promises gold, rarity, discovery; the intoxicating possibility that somewhere beneath centuries of dust, history has been waiting for us to find it. At San Francisco’s de Young museum, Treasures of the Pharaohs certainly delivers that spectacle. On view from August 1, 2026, through January 31, 2027, the exhibition brings together 130 objects spanning some 3,000 years of ancient Egyptian civilization, from monu

Fashion exhibitions often celebrate beautiful garments. The most memorable ones, however, reveal something far greater: the power of clothing to tell the story of a nation. That is precisely what visitors discover at La Mode en Majesté: Royal Thai Dress from Tradition to Modernity, on view at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs through November 1, 2026. More than an exhibition of extraordinary couture, it is a remarkable journey through diplomacy, cultural identity, craftsmanship,

At the Musée Ingres Bourdelle in Montauban, a major exhibition reveals how fabrics, jewels, and silhouettes illuminate far more than the elegance of an age; they uncover the social, cultural, and economic transformations of the nineteenth century. This summer, the Musée Ingres Bourdelle in Montauban invites visitors to rediscover one of France's most celebrated painters through an unexpectedly modern lens. Opening on July 3 and running through November 8, Ingres et la Mode ex

A firsthand look at Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel Exhibition at The Shops at Crystals in Las Vegas, where visitors can experience the master's restored masterpieces up close without traveling to Rome.

London has always understood that culture is not merely something to consume; it is something to inhabit. Every summer, the city transforms into a vast cultural stage where museums, galleries, palaces, and public institutions compete to offer visitors not simply exhibitions, but experiences. In 2026, the British capital presents one of its most ambitious cultural seasons in recent memory, bringing together legendary artists, fashion icons, immersive technologies, and royal hi

There are certain cities where art simply exists and then there are cities where art becomes part of the atmosphere itself. San Francisco has long belonged to the latter category. Suspended between Pacific fog, Victorian elegance, radical innovation, and countercultural memory, San Francisco remains one of America’s most intellectually and visually stimulating cultural capitals. This June 2026, the city’s museums and institutions are presenting a remarkable constellation of e
