We look ahead to London's art and exhibition openings and select the mustsee shows.
Double science
It's a big month for the Science Museum，with a new gallery and an exhibition opening.The Science City gallery tells the story of London between 1550 and 1800 when major scientific breakthroughs were happening across the city—from Newton's laws of physics to the birth of microscopes allowing us to see the tiny creatures that live among us.If that isn't enough there's also an exhibition on how art and science have worked closely together over the centuries and continue to do so today.
Science City 1550—1800：The Linbury Gallery at the Science Museum.Opens 12 September—13 October，free.
The Art of Innovation：From Enlightenment to Dark Matter at the Science Museum.25 September—26 January，free but ticketed.
Are you worried yet?
We all suffer from anxiety.Artists look into this through artworks that bring to light their own anxieties or how people living with anxiety manage.The exhibition also covers what anxiety would look like if it could be visualised in light or sound—something we imagine to be impossible.
On Edge：Living in an Age of Anxiety at Science Gallery.19 September—19 January，free.
Climbing the walls
No artist has made a bigger career out of placing sculptures of human figures all over the place.Antony Gormley，the artist behind the Angel of the North and sculptures standing all over London，takes over the Royal Academy of Arts with a blockbusting(轰动一时的) exhibition.This is the hot art ticket in town.
Antony Gormley at Royal Academy of Arts.21 October—3 December，￡18—22.
