London's blockbuster exhibitions open now

If you couldn't get enough of last summer's Barbiemania then you're in luck with the Design Museum's deep-dive into the iconic doll. Discover how Barbie's style, houses, cars and friends all evolved over the decades with design trends and a shift towards a more inclusive, multicultural world. You'll leave realising that life in plastic really is fantastic.

Step inside and interact with immersive light sculptures in this major presentation of Anthony McCall, a contemporary artist who redefined the possibilities of sculpture in the 70s. Create new shapes with your own movement in these translucent installations that blur sculpture, cinema, drawing and performance. Once you're done, keep exploring at the Tate Modern and check out their major Yoko Ono exhibition.

Do you know much about the six women who married Henry VIII beyond that notorious, six-word rhyme declaring each of their fates? Deep-dive into each queen and how they’ve captured the imagination of writers and artists for centuries across stage, screen, painting and photography.

One of the original supermodels and the first Black woman to appear on the cover of French Vogue at the tender age of 18, who doesn't know (and love) Naomi Campbell? Through her enviable wardrobe and legendary looks from over the years, this exhibition tells the story of her life and successful career which saw her turn into a global superstar and fashion icon.

Meet a dynasty of Japanese printmakers, a family who transformed the medium over two centuries, from the pioneering patriarch who spearheaded the nostalgic shin-hanga movement, to the shift into abstraction found in the family's current generations.

Discover women artists working across four centuries, who led the way for future generations by challenging societal expectations of women who work and find success in the arts. Over 150 works are on display, from Tudor times to the First World War, by artists including Artemisia Gentileschi, Angelica Kauffman and Gwen John.

The women of the Bloomsbury Group – Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, Lady Ottoline Morrell, and Vita Sackville-West – transformed their gardens into places of sanctuary during a period of personal and political upheaval. Discover the interweaving stories of these creative women, and how their green havens opened up space to explore ideas of creativity, domesticity, nature, sexuality and relationships.

Did you know there was a Big Biba? Kind of like a Swinging Sixties version of Big Topshop, this Art Deco shopping utopia filled seven floors with the iconic brand's designs, a decadent restaurant where rock royalty hung out, and a roof garden with real life penguins and flamingos. And if that doesn't make you want to run to this exhibition celebrating everything to do with the glamorous lifestyle brand that dominated the fashion landscape in the Sixties and Seventies, then we don't know what will.

Glittering jewels, intricate paintings and majestic armoury – marvel at all that and more in this fascinating deep dive into the life and enduring impact of Ranjit Singh, whose Sikh empire was hailed a Golden Age and left an indelible mark on the Punjab. Learn about this momentous period in history and the rich culture that flourished in this major exhibition dedicated to the leader.

If you've been watching Netflix's latest hit Ripley, then maybe you've caught the Caravaggio bug. Like the show's protagonist himself, we can't resist the Baroque master's intense lighting and dramatic scenes, and now you can see his last painting before his mysterious death, which is brimming with guilt and violence. His final masterpiece returns to London for the first time in 20 years, and is displayed alongside a significant letter detailing its creation by the artist and his powerful painting, Salome with the Head of John the Baptist.
