5 New Design Exhibitions | Architecture | Bauhaus | Designer | Everyday Design | Exhibitions and Shows
Time was when new architecture and design exhibitions opened every month. Some months more. Some months less. But every month enough for a list.
Time was.
But time is.
And today you'll struggle to find new showcases opening in August and January. If that's a collective decision made by the global museum community, or pure chance, we no know. We can but observe it's existence as an actual thing.
Or put another way: we can find, globally, but one, as in 1, new exhibition due to open in January 2024; and 1, famously, can't be the basis for a list.
Thus, and as with August 2023, January 2023, and August 2022, in place of recommendations for new exhibitions opening, we bring you a list of all those architecture and design exhibition currently running that you can view in January 2024. And do so with the recommendation that you view as many as possible. Because from February onwards the number of new openings increases greatly, and you may struggle to keep up.......
