What we’re about
Hello to all those who love art, history and culture and would like to enjoy the incredible museums in London and socialise together with other like-minded cultural enthusiasts.
If you are interested in visiting exhibitions, museums, cool art places and other interesting cultural events, this group is for you. The idea is to meet in one museum/gallery and visit it together. We can have a coffee or snack afterwards to talk, socialise and share our opinions.
Everybody is welcome, no matter if you have lived in London for ages or just moved here. Just bring your curiosity and positivity.
I am always open to any suggestions about any cool events and happy to organise.
If you like our events and you want me to organise more and better activities on meetup please consider supporting the group and just buy me a coffee using the following link: buymeacoffee.com/CultureMeetup
This will help me to keep our events completely free, cover the meetup fees and give you more experiences to enjoy.
Thank you for your support!

See all- Frank Auerbach. The Charcoal Heads - The Courtauld GalleryThe Courtauld Gallery, London
This week we'll be visiting the exhibition "Frank Auerbach. The Charcoal Heads", a remarkable series of hauntingly beautiful, large-scale drawings by Frank Auerbach (born 1931), presented together for the first time at The Courtauld Gallery.
The Griffin Catalyst Exhibition: Frank Auerbach. The Charcoal Heads will be the first time Auerbach’s extraordinary post-war drawings, made in the 1950s and early 1960s, have been brought together as a comprehensive group. They will be shown together with a selection of paintings he made of the same sitters; for him, painting and drawing have always been deeply entwined.
The exhibition will be a unique opportunity to see early masterpieces by one of the world’s most celebrated living artists.

Dulwich Picture Gallery is the world’s first purpose-built public art gallery: it was founded in 1811 when Sir Francis Bourgeois RA bequeathed his collection of old masters “for the inspection of the public”.
Today the Gallery is a vibrant cultural hub hosting some of the UK’s leading exhibitions alongside its Permanent Collection of Baroque masterpieces.Opening in June 2024, Dulwich Picture Gallery will bring together artworks by the Yoshida family, a Japanese artistic dynasty including Yoshida Hiroshi, Fujio, Tōshi, Hodaka, Chizuko and Ayomi. The first of its kind in the UK – and Europe more widely – this exhibition will shine a spotlight on three generations of woodblock print artists and trace the evolution of Japanese printmaking across two centuries.
The exhibition will culminate with a new site-specific installation of cherry blossom by Yoshida Ayomi, Hodaka’s and Chizuko’s daughter.For more information about the exhibition, check this link.
Let's meet at the West Dulwich station between 2 - 2.15 pm. From there we will go to the Gallery and we'll visit the exhibition together for around 1.5 hours.
