What was the last exhibition you saw? On the Condé Nast Traveller team, we have what now seem like distant memories of racing to the Andy Warhol show at Tate Modern before lockdown measures kicked in last March. Then going to the incredible Titian: Love, Desire, Death at the National Gallery when it reopened in July, following newly added floor arrows around an eerily empty space and feeling a sense of rare privilege at being more or less alone with the painter’s evocative Renaissance masterpieces. Along with museums, art galleries in England will be able to reopen on Monday 17 May (Monday 26 April for Scotland, dates to be confirmed for Wales and Northern Ireland). That seems a long time to wait. But as Bernard Donoghue, the director of the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions, has said, ‘The visitor experience this year will be phenomenal. You will be up close and personal with animals or art in a way you would never have experienced before and possibly won’t in the future.’ So while we’ve been missing the UK’s incredible galleries these past months, when they reopen it will be a rare opportunity – with timed tickets and lack of overseas visitors – to see art without the crowds.
