What's hot in Exhibitions right now

Excuse the title, but it is going to be a few weeks before I have some free time to go to exhibitions. If you have a full time job and want to go to an exhibition on a weekend, it's worth knowing where to go so you won't be wasting your time!

Here is my latest exhibition wish-list:

V&A - Wedding Dresses 1775-2014:

This exhibition is a dream come true for any girl who has always imagined herself in a wedding dress! The aim is to demonstrate the evolution of the wedding dress, but ultimately it's there to ogle all of the wonderful dresses that have been warn by the rich and famous. Notable examples on display are Dita Von Teese's wedding dress for her wedding to Marylin Manson and Gwen Stefani's dress. I really REALLY want to see this exhibition. Anyone fancy taking me?

British Library - Comics Unmasked: Art and Anarchy in the UK (2nd May - 19th August 2014):

Using rare items from the Library collections, this exhibition examines how comics have changed from Victorian times to the present day. I was actually lucky enough to meet with the design company who were doing this exhibition (sadly for something entirely different) and it sounded amazing! The exhibition is sure to cement the idea of comics being an expression for dissent.

Windsor Castle - Treasures from the Royal Archives (17th May 2014 - January 2015):

There is a book available from this exhibition that is first on my list, as it contains the hidden secrets of the Royal Archives that are only just being released! The little known fact about the Royal Collections is that lots of the Collection is still under wraps, even to researchers. So this year sees some of these unknown objects shown to the public for the very first time! It includes baby books done by the Edwardian Queens, and some of Prince Albert's letters to Queen Victoria.

Imperial War Museum refurbishment (reopens 19th July 2014):

Ok, so it's not technically an exhibition, but the whole Museum is being completely refurbished in time for the centenary of the First World War. There's going to be new galleries, loads of new exhibitions to explore and a brand new cafe to enjoy. It's worth a look, because if something has this much refurbishment, it's bound to be good!

So there you have it! It's worth remembering that these are the very biggest exhibitions in the UK, but do check out your local Museum for what's on.
