Five of the best… new art shows
Sunken Cities | Francis Bacon: Invisible Rooms | In The Age Of Giorgione | Painting With Light | Maria Lassnig
Two ancient Egyptian cities lost underwater at the mouth of the Nile are brought back to life in this archaeological blockbuster. The sea is a magical preserver. The relics of Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus tell a new story of Egypt as a trading empire at the heart of Mediterranean history. As ever with archaeological exhibitions, the question is how all this stuff will work as art.
Will the British Museum’s first big exhibition since its revered boss Neil MacGregor left live up to his vision?
