Add to calendarStumblday's 177 hand-checked picks for Oct 9–12: gallery shows, museum exhibitions, and what's closing soon.
This list tracks all three off the hand-checked board — museum exhibitions worth planning around, gallery shows worth a detour, and the closing-soon flags that stop you finding out a week too late. Galleries are free to walk into, always; museum pricing and pay-what-you-wish windows are verified per event. Re-ranked weekly as shows open and close.
This list covers the weekend of Oct 9–12, 2026, and it refreshes automatically every week.
Almost always — openings are free, unticketed, and nobody checks a list. Walk in. Museum exhibitions differ, and each event page carries the verified admission details.
The show's final weeks, verified against the venue's own dates — the ranking boosts endings because a show you can see any time is the one you never see.
