: Take a walk around London this fall and you will see how many new exhibitions and events are being opened by the city’s famous museums and galleries.
The names that will soon be attracting attention include Picasso, Caravaggio and Pollock, as well as Rodin. The city is home to one of the best cultural experiences in the world, with inspiring exhibitions that commemorate the Great Fire of London, 100-years of war movies, and a Sir Elton John photography exhibition.
Last week, London’s Science Museum was the place where Mayor Sadiq Khan launched his official campaign. London’s Autumn Season of cultural exhibitions and eventsThe GREAT campaign by the British government, which promotes the U.K. internationally, supports this initiative.
London & Partners, the mayor’s promotional organization, also revealed a piece of research that showed that two-thirds of U.S. tourists who have recently visited Britain are planning to come back, after the Brexit vote made the destination better value than ever before. For example, a family of four can save $10 on their tickets for Westminster Abbey. Tickets at the London Eye are $16 less.
A majority of Americans agree that London offers the best cultural experience in the world, with 98% of them agreeing.
The mayor declared: “Our city’s world-class museums, galleries and exhibitions have firmly positioned London as one of the most welcoming and culturally rich cities to visit. Not only does our unique cultural scene make a substantial and vital contribution to our city’s economic prosperity, but I’m delighted to see that London’s creative sector plays such an important role in entertaining tourists from across the Atlantic.”
