January is the perfect month to visit Museums and indoor fairs. Since it’s usually one of the coldest months of the year, we can take full advantage of the comfort of one of these indoor current exhibitions. I have listed 6 great Museum exhibitions and fairs around the world that offer that and more. From a notable look at the struggle of immigrants at the Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York City to the first exhibition of Charles I’s massive and impressive collection at The Royal Academy in London.
New York
The Immigrants, Through January 27, 2018 A Group Exhibition of Works by Selected Photographers. At Howard Greenberg Gallery
“Tracing the immigrant’s journey, photographs in the exhibition will lead viewers through sections on otherness, growth, global issues, boundaries, work, and the history of the United States… The Immigrants will survey the work of more than 40 photographers from the 1860s through 2015, exploring issues of labor, education, and poverty as well as discrimination, assimilation, and a sense of belonging… A portion of proceeds from the exhibition will benefit the International Rescue Committee (IRC), which supports refugee families in crisis.”
Atlanta, US

Picasso 1932 Through February 2018 at Picasso Museum
The exhibition is organized in partnership with Tate Modern in London, and chronicles the work and life of the artist during the complete year of 1932 from Jan 1st to Dec. 31st.
Madrid
Fortuny (1838-1874) at Museo Nacional del Prado
For the first time Museo Del Prado is presenting an exhibition on Mariano Fortuny y Marsal (1838-1874). The exhibit presents most of Fortuny’s masterpieces thanks to the generosity of the painter’s son, Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo as well as acquisitions purchased by the Museum.
London
Charles I: King and Collector January 27 through April 15 2018. At The Royal Academy
Charles I believed he had the divine absolute authority to control the three kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland. Many saw his actions and beliefs as those of a tyrant. A very divisive king, he tried to force the Church of Scotland and such action ended in the Bishops’ Wars. He fought the armies of the English and Scottish parliaments in the English Civil War, got jailed a couple of times, escaped once until the last time he was tried, convicted and executed for high treason. Sounds like something of our current days, doesn’t it… This exhibition however, focuses on the stylish side of the monarch as opposed to his psycho side. Charles I: King and Collector will exhibit the greatest masterpieces of his fantastic collection for the first time.
