Art Exhibitions in London - Summer 2010

Here's a list of upcoming art exhibitions in London over the summer months. The one I'm really looking forward to is The Wyeth Family at Dulwich Picture Gallery - it's a once in a lifetime event!

UK - Major Museums

• The Wyeths: Three Generations of American Art. Dulwich Picture Gallery, London. 9 June - 22 August.

“Dulwich Picture Gallery continues its consistently surprising exhibition programme in 2010 with a show that I think no other institution in this country would have dared do, least of all Tate Britain; an exhibition about the Wyeth family of artists, whose best known member, Andrew, divides Americans equally”
