Culture Digest: The best things to do, hear, see or watch in Europe this week

Welcome back for another round of recommendations, and what an exciting bunch they are! Trust us - friends don't lie.

Not only is the final season of Stranger Things about to turn our world's upside down, there's also the sequel to award-winning animated film Zootopia hopping its way to the big screen.

Over at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, there's the spectacular Nine Eyes Archives, where artist Jon Rafman captures life through Google Street View's lens. Or you could just crank up your speakers and disappear into Neil Young's 'Tonight’s the Night' deluxe edition.

But don't decide just yet - here are this week's cultural highlights.

Exhibitions

Caravaggio's Cupid

When: 26 November 2025 - 12 April 2026

Where: The Wallace Collection (London, UK)

In an exciting first for the UK, Caravaggio's masterpiece 'Victorious Cupid' is being displayed at The Wallace Collection. Displayed alongside two ancient Roman sculptures, the three objects once formed part of Italian banker Marchese Vincenzo Giustiniani’s collection - more than four hundred years ago. When viewed together, they re-create the 17th-century atmosphere of Giustiniani's palace; a place where art and debate mingled - and viewing a Caravaggio in person was just as awe-inspiring as it is now.

Jon Rafman: Report a concern – The Nine Eyes Archives

When: Until 11th January 2026

Where: Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Humlebæk, Denmark)

In 2008, Canadian artist Jon Rafman began Nine Eyes - a seminal and ongoing project that utilises Google Street View to archive history. From strangers in hazmat suits to bizarre glitches, it captures the strange beauty of a world caught in the digital age. Now on display at Denmark's Louisiana Museum, the full-scale presentation includes Rafman's 2010 film 'YOU, THE WORLD AND I', and new work that expands on his exploration of technology and visual art; using artificial intelligence (AI) to animate archive images.

Bonus highlight: Dana Awartani Standing by the Ruins opens at Towner Eastbourne in the UK on 29 November.

Movies

Zootopia 2

Where: European cinemas

When: 28 November

From Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, to K-Pop Demon Hunters and Flow, we've been spoilt with some great animated movies of late - but this one we really carrot wait for.

A sequel to the Oscar-nominated 2016 Zootopia, Zootopia 2 reunites bunny detective Judy Hopps with her cunning sidekick Nick Wilde as they attempt to track down a risky reptile that's ravaging the city. Beautifully animated and layered with clever humour and plentiful charm, the strength of the two lead characters alone assures you'll be driven wild with glee.

PS: This movie's titles may vary depending where you live. For example, in the UK and other select European countries, you'll find it under the name Zootropolis 2 due to copyright issues.

Bonus highlight: An adaptation of Max Porter's 2015 novella, The Thing With Feathers stars Benedict Cumberbatch and is out now in select European cinemas.

TV series

Stranger Things

Where: Netflix

When: 26 November

It’s nearly a decade since Stranger Things was first released, inviting us into the dark, interdimensional underbelly of fictional town Hawkins - and ensuring we never see flickering fairy lights in quite the same way. As the fifth and final season approaches, tensions remain high following the opening of the Rifts - gateways between the normal world and an alternate reality known as the Upside Down; its villainous ruler Vecna still on the loose. Meanwhile, governmental corruption comes to a head as the military closes in on capturing Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). Have Eggos and tissues at the ready.

Bonus highlight: The Beatles Anthology, a new documentary series on Disney+, streams from 26 November.

Music

Neil Young: Tonight’s the Night (50th Anniversary reissue)

When: 28 November

It's a quiet week for new music releases, but Neil Young fans will be excited to re-experience his 1975 album, re-issued for its 50th anniversary. It features six bonus unreleased alternate songs from the era and a collaboration with Joni Mitchell, offering fresh insight into one of Young's most solitary and emotive projects.

Bonus highlight: Hip hop group De La Soul released their 10th studio album 'Cabin In The Sky' on 21 November.
