2026 Calendar London Museums and Galleries

3-4 Minute Read

2026 Calendar London Museums and Galleries. There’s a particular kind of joy that comes from wandering through a gallery — that moment when you lose track of time in front of a painting, or discover a new artist who shifts your perspective. For me, museums and galleries have always been more than just buildings; they are spaces of quiet reflection, endless inspiration, and creative energy. It felt only natural to celebrate them in a format I love: a hand-drawn illustrated calendar.

Just dropped: my 2026 Calendar featuring illustrations of London’s most iconic museums and galleries — one for every month. From the timeless halls of the National Gallery in January to the ever-bold Whitechapel Gallery in December, this calendar is a visual journey through London’s rich artistic landscape.

I’ve always had a deep connection with museums. My love for art began at school, where I was first introduced to artists, techniques, and the idea that art could be a way of seeing the world differently. That early fascination quickly turned into a lifelong habit — one that sees me regularly revisiting favourites like Tate Britain, the Hayward Gallery, the Design Museum, and the Photographers’ Gallery. Each visit offers something new: a fresh exhibition, an inspiring installation, or simply a quiet corner to sketch in.

2026 Calendar London Museums and Galleries is rooted in that personal joy. Every illustration is drawn in my signature style, capturing not just the architecture of these incredible spaces but also their spirit. Alongside each month’s artwork is a short bio about the gallery or museum featured — a little story or fact to add context and appreciation. I wanted the calendar to be both beautiful and useful, so there’s space to jot down notes, special dates, or upcoming exhibitions you don’t want to miss.

Here’s a glimpse at the year ahead:

• January – The National Gallery

• February – Hayward Gallery

Whether you’re a design lover, an art student, a Londoner, or someone who just enjoys a quiet afternoon surrounded by creativity, I hope this calendar brings a little inspiration to your wall all year round. It’s a celebration of the places that continue to shape, educate, and ignite the creative spark in all of us.
