​Spring is upon us: it's time to uncurl yourself from the comforts of home and dip your toes into something new. This April is set to lead the way for design innovation with the National Museum of Scotland and the National Centre for Craft & Design reflecting upon the creative practices of contemporary glassmakers, while the Sainsbury Centre looks back at the pioneering history of post-war architecture. In Manchester, Isaac Julien's Ten Thousand Waves provides a place for tradition and modernity to meet, and Christian Boltanski returns to London with a immersive exhibition which examines the fragility of human life.

Wrap up warm and plan for the month ahead: here's a series of projects on view in March which reflect upon humanity's changing rapport with the environment.

V&A Dundee Archive: Ocean Liners

​It's the start of something new: elements of promise and excitement greet us in the first few days of 2018 - all before those January blues kick in. Along with the countless resolutions, there's another way to mark the New Year: to look ahead at the array of exhibitions and events coming up across the UK. Dundee, Yorkshire and London are all on the radar.

V&A Dundee, Scotland's first design museum, opens its doors in September with Ocean Liners: Speed and Style. Three years in the making and costing an estimated £80 million, this new landmark on Dundee's waterfront will provide a comprehensive platform for international design, fashion, architecture and photography in Scotland. Mirroring the work of V&A London, this institution will shine a light on the nation's design achievements through its dedicated Scottish Design Galleries.
