THE TRULY SOLO EXHIBITION

On the hunt for dinner-party fodder? Get to the National Gallery for a look at Discover Manet & Eva Gonzalès, an exhibition which uses new technology to unpick every tiny detail of a single painting by Édouard Manet of his muse — from the materials the artist chose to sections he struggled with — which is bound to make you sound like an art history whizz. 21 Oct to 15 Jan.
