Exhibitions

What is on now and what opens next, worldwide, each listing carrying the date we last confirmed it. Plus what a loan show reveals about attribution and provenance, and the exhibition histories that feed the records.

Find exhibitions near a place

Type any town or city, not only one we hold: the shows within 200 km come back nearest first. Your coordinates are read in your browser only, to sort a list this page already holds. Nothing is sent to us and nothing is stored. Place coordinates from GeoNames, CC BY 4.0.

Closed shows keep their pages: an exhibition history is provenance evidence, and this archive cites it.

What we will not list

A show without both dates, a venue we cannot resolve, or prose lifted from a museum's own page. Every listing says where the dates came from and the day we last confirmed them.

Why a closed show keeps its page

An exhibition history is provenance evidence: where a work was shown, and when, is part of its record, and this archive cites it. A closed show stops being advertised and stays citable.

The Iconotheca Letter

One artwork and its story every Tuesday, with the picture: who owned it, what it made, and what closes soon in the exhibition calendar. No promotion, and nothing we cannot cite.

We send one email to confirm the address and keep nothing else. Every letter carries a one-click unsubscribe. How we handle your data.
