We’re in love with the Coco

All three floors of London’s Saatchi Gallery will play host to the genius of Chanel and its longtime creative director Karl Lagerfeld as it stages its hotly anticipated exhibition, Mademoiselle Privé. Open to the public daily from October 13 to November 1, and for free, the exhibit will showcase the maison’s Haute Couture collection, high jewellery re-editions of its Bijoux de Diamants collection created in 1932, as well as the history of its iconic perfume Chanel N°5. Indeed, this is a must-see for anyone who’s loco over Coco.

‘Be our guest’ says the Conjoined Twins from the BPM collection

Indulging in art, of course, need not always be serious. This Halloween, London is playing host to another Museums at Night festival and for autumn, the dates fall on Halloween. Various museums are participating in after-hours events from October 30-31, including the Freud Museum, Benjamin Franklin House, National Maritime Museum, as well as the Barts Pathological Museum, which is hosting a silent (yes, no talking allowed!) Halloween dinner that includes a 3-course meal (served backwards, starting from dessert) and a jazz performance.

These London stays are a work of art, too!
