LIMITED EDITION

From gallery-hopping on a private jet to having The Louvre or The Met all to yourself, these are the most exclusive art experiences that money can buy

Travel trend forecasters around the world are all in agreement: travel centred around art is poised to replace culinary journeys and tours as a leading luxury trend.

Museums, galleries and special exhibitions are attracting more travellers than ever. And while limited-edition art is old news, limited-edition art experiences are currently highly desired by art lovers around the world.

These five-star hotels and luxury tour operators are offering their guests some incredible, once-in-a-lifetime art encounters.

A SECRET AT THE SILO

Situated on Cape Town's waterfront, The Silo Hotel is housed in a historic grain silo, soaring above Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA). Designed by acclaimed London design firm Heatherwick Studio, it is the world's largest museum dedicated to contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora.

Nightly rates at The Silo include entrance to the museum, but we suggest taking things one step further with a private tour, from which you'll get to enter the museum via a secret entrance on the hotel's fourth floor. Shhhyou didn't hear it from us.
