A "colour-popping" art exhibition in Scotland has been named one of the best in the UK to see in 2025.

Introducing the list, which featured must-see installations in places like London and Brighton, The Times newspaper said that as the new year approaches, museums and galleries across the UK are unveiling a range of "exciting" exhibitions.

Whether you're looking for a "spellbinding retelling" of Hansel and Gretel or the history behind Britain’s enduring love of train travel, there is something for everyone.

The "Garden Futures: Designing With Nature" exhibition at the V&A in Dundee was the Scottish arts event named among the best in the UK for 2025.

The Times newspaper described it as a "colour-popping" show on modern garden design that offers a "snapshot" of what green spaces will look like in the future.

Taking place between May 17, 2025, and February 22, 2026, the exhibition features "pioneering work" by designers and artists like William Morris.
