March 2026’s Essential Round-Ups

Sometimes the best part of a journey is the story you carry back with you. This March, the global cultural scene is redefining the souvenir, delivering the humble keepsakes into sophisticated art. Our latest round-up spotlights the experiences of a new museum exploration and artifacts that resonate long after the return flight lands. Here is what’s defining the cultural landscape this month.

CHAMPIONING CULTURE

London, UK

Creativity spans centuries at V&A East Museum (Daily: 10:00-18:00, Thurs & Sat until 22:00), a new branch of the world-famous Victoria and Albert Museum where everything from Vivienne Westwood’s punk denim to Tibetan amulets are kept. Opening on 18 April in East Bank – a new cultural quarter forming part of the legacy of the 2012 Olympic Games – this five-story building showcases over 500 objects spanning art, design, fashion, and performance. Opening exhibition “The Music Is Black: A British Story” will trace 125 years of Black British music through objects, such as Joan Armatrading’s guitar and fashion worn by Little Simz.

THAILAND IN YOUR POCKET

Thailand

Love Thailand so much you want to take it home? Now you can with Sawadee Siam, a deck of cards that doubles as a crash course on all things Thailand.

The King and Queen are dressed in traditional Thai outfits, while the Jack wears one of the masks from classical Khon dance. A fun keepsake that helps you learn about Thailand, one hand at a time.
