We. Love. Autumn. Nature puts on its annual art show, roast dinners are back on the menu and, best of all, it’s a culture-vulture paradise, with new things to see and do across our county’s many museums. 

So, ready for some cerebral action? Whether you're looking for career inspiration or want to impress interviewers with your industry knowledge, kick off the season with a trip to one of these exciting new exhibitions.

For art lovers…

Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum makes for an easy, arty day out, thanks to the Money Talks: Art, Society & Power exhibition. With over 100 objects from across the globe, including works by Rembrandt, Andy Warhol and Banksy, the display explores how the imagery on our currency impacts what and who we imagine is valuable. Open until 5th January 2025

For conspiracists…

In 2017, the World Health Organization estimated that 1 in 10 medicines are either substandard or falsified in low- and middle-income countries. Think you can spot the difference? Go and investigate hoaxes, forgeries and fakes in the world of public health at the History of Science Museum’s The Disease of Greed exhibition. Open now

For history buffs…

History and contemporary art collide in Hawai'i Ma uka to Ma kai – an exploration of Hawaiian communities’ connection to landscape at the Pitt Rivers Museum. The exhibition invites you to witness the disruption of indigenous practices over the past 150 years, alongside stories of resilience and restoration, through the tradition of quilting. Open now

For tech heads…

Did you know 75% of Bletchley Park’s famous codebreakers were women? The story of how the Estate became a 9,000-person strong intelligence organisation in the second half of WWII is brought to life through objects, personal stories and moments of interaction in The Intelligence Factory. Open now

For aesthetes…
