Trust us &#8211; friends don&#8217;t lie. <\/p>\n<p>Not only is the final season of Stranger Things about to turn our world&#8217;s upside down, there&#8217;s also the sequel to award-winning animated film Zootopia hopping its way to the big screen. <\/p>\n<p>Over at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, there&#8217;s the spectacular Nine Eyes Archives, where artist Jon Rafman captures life through Google Street View&#8217;s lens. Or you could just crank up your speakers and disappear into Neil Young&#8217;s &#8216;Tonight\u2019s the Night&#8217; deluxe edition. <\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t decide just yet &#8211; here are this week&#8217;s cultural highlights. <\/p>\n<p>Exhibitions<\/p>\n<p>Caravaggio&#8217;s Cupid<\/p>\n<p>When: 26 November 2025 &#8211; 12 April 2026<\/p>\n<p>Where: The Wallace Collection (London, UK)<\/p>\n<p>In an exciting first for the UK, Caravaggio&#8217;s masterpiece &#8216;Victorious Cupid&#8217; 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\u2019s collection &#8211; more than four hundred years ago. When viewed together, they re-create the 17th-century atmosphere of Giustiniani&#8217;s palace; a place where art and debate mingled &#8211; and viewing a Caravaggio in person was just as awe-inspiring as it is now. <\/p>\n<p>Jon Rafman: Report a concern \u2013 The Nine Eyes Archives<\/p>\n<p>When: Until 11th January 2026<\/p>\n<p>Where: Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Humleb\u00e6k, Denmark)<\/p>\n<p>In 2008, Canadian artist Jon Rafman began Nine Eyes &#8211; 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&#8217;s Louisiana Museum, the full-scale presentation includes Rafman&#8217;s 2010 film &#8216;YOU, THE WORLD AND I&#8217;, and new work that expands on his exploration of technology and visual art; using artificial intelligence (AI) to animate archive images. <\/p>\n<p>Bonus highlight: Dana Awartani Standing by the Ruins opens at Towner Eastbourne in the UK on 29 November. <\/p>\n<p>Movies<\/p>\n<p>Zootopia 2<\/p>\n<p>Where: European cinemas <\/p>\n<p>When: 28 November <\/p>\n<p>From Wallace &amp; Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/culture\/2025\/11\/18\/why-is-a-uk-school-seeking-to-ban-kpop-demon-hunters-songs\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">K-Pop Demon Hunters <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/culture\/2025\/04\/30\/flow-wins-lux-audience-award-2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Flow<\/a>, we&#8217;ve been spoilt with some great animated movies of late &#8211; but this one we really carrot wait for. <\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s ravaging the city.

As the fifth and final season approaches, tensions remain high following the opening of the Rifts &#8211; gateways between the normal world and an alternate reality known as the Upside Down; its villainous ruler Vecna still on the loose.
