Just when you thought we couldn’t possibly chuck another list of ‘where to go in 2025’ your way, yet another publication drops its roundup for the year ahead.
It kicks off with Jane Austen’s England (specifically, the southwest), ‘a pastoral area that salutes a literary legend’ and which this year will be celebrating the 250th anniversary of this icon’s birth. You can pay her old house a visit in Hampshire or dance the night away in proper Regency style at one of the balls at the Jane Austen Centre in Bath.
Elsewhere on the list is the Museum of West African Arts (MOWAA) in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria, which boasts exceptional infrastructure and programs for the preservation, display, research, learning, and exchange in arts and culture in a world-class campus.
