Missed out on Vermeer? Try these arty gems across Europe instead

With the Amsterdam blockbuster all sold out, our writer picks 10 alternative arty must-sees in Europe – all reachable by train

For a top-notch art fix without leaving the country hop on a train to increasingly creative Margate. There’s a colourful exhibition of paintings and works on paper by Brazilian Beatriz Milhazes, one of the leading abstract artists working today, and a major installation in the Sunley Gallery Window, from 27 May until 10 September. Always to be seen is Antony Gormley’s Another Time, one of his cast-iron figures standing all at sea alongside the gallery.
