3 exhibitions for London families to visit in 2020
Tutankhamun: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh at Saatchi Gallery
At Chelsea’s Saatchi Gallery, families now have a unique opportunity to learn about Ancient Egypt by visiting Tutankhamun: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh, an exhibition I’ve been invited to review. The exhibition, which is open until 3 May, showcases 150 artefacts from Tutankhamun’s tomb, making it the largest collection of Tutankhamun’s treasures ever to leave Egypt. Starting with an introductory video about Howard Carter’s discovery of the tomb, the exhibition puts the burial items in context for visitors and explains their meaning. London is the final stop on the world tour before the collection is returned to Egypt to go on permanent display at the Grand Egyptian Museum.
Moving to Mars at The Design Museum
At Kensington’s Design Museum, there’s currently an exhibition about Mars, which is recommended for families with children aged 8 and over. The exhibition features imagery from Mars and a full-scale Mars home to step into, as well as items including the first spacesuit designed for Mars and a fashion inspired by Mars. Moving to Mars at the Design Museum is on until 23 February.
Andy Warhol at Tate Modern
From 12 March to 6 September, artworks by Andy Warhol will take centre stage at Tate Modern in a new exhibition on the famous pop art artist. The retrospective is the first Warhol exhibition at Tate Modern for almost 20 years, and will include iconic pieces like Marilyn Monroe, Coca-Cola and Campbell’s soup cans, as well as some artworks that have never been on display in the UK before. Tickets for the Andy Warhol exhibition at Tate Modern are now on sale.
