This summer of international art fairs and events is winding down, but the art world is ramping up for an impressive roster of museum shows to close out 2017. From the worldwide centennial celebration of Rodin, to a tribute to the lesser-known Latina artists of Los Angeles, here are 30 travel-worthy shows from around the world.

For the first time, Cuban collector Juan Castillo Vázquez, the grandnephew of Wifredo Lam, is lending a selection of Lam’s work to a US institution. Museum director and chief curator Ricardo Viera first visited Cuba back in 1997 to see Vázquez’s impressive holdings, meaning this exhibition of 21 works on paper has been 20 years in the making.

Rodin cast a version of his piece Age of Bronze for the museum, which also owns a monumental version of The Thinker perched at the institution’s main entrance.

Part of the Pacific Standard Time initiative, the exhibition reveals how real Cubans live their lives, from El Paquete, an illegal weekly selection of downloadable American media, to the Frikis, a community of young punk rockers who in the 1980s and ’90s deliberately infected themselves with AIDS in order to live in government-run sanatoriums.

Ugo Rondinone, It’s late and the wind carries a faint sound as it moves through the trees. It could be anything. The jingling of little bells perhaps, or the tiny flickering out of tiny lives. I stroll down the sidewalk and close my eyes and open them and wait for my mind to go perfectly blank. Like a room no one has ever entered, a room without any doors or windows. A place where nothing happens. (1999– 2000). Courtesy of the artist.
