Sexy wicker and an Agatha Christie exhibition: The best things to do, hear, see or watch in Europe this week

This week, Europe offers a plethora of exciting events for enthusiasts of art, literature, cinema, and music.

The British Library will open an exhibition honoring Agatha Christie, fondly known as the Queen of Crime. Set to run from October 30 to June 20, the event showcases the novelist's manuscripts, letters, and personal belongings, including an original 1937 Remington typewriter believed to be used for writing her bestseller, And Then There Were None. The exhibition also features life-size replicas of an Orient Express carriage and other interactive elements.

Parallel to the literary event, Turin Art Week will host the exhibition "The Quantum Effect," exploring the visual manifestations of quantum theory. Running from October 31 to February 25 at OGR Torino, the exhibition features works by renowned artists such as Yayoi Kusama's infinity rooms and an animatronic gorilla by British artist Ryan Gander. Curated by Daniel Birnbaum and Jacqui Davies, the exhibition delves into concepts like parallel universes, teleportation, and dark matter.

For a unique cinematic experience, catch the film "Wicker," which tells the darkly comic tale of a medieval fisherwoman who commissions a wicker man to be her husband. Starring Olivia Colman, Peter Dinklage, and Alexander Skarsgård, the film promises a blend of humor, critique of gender norms, and a touch of romance.

As Halloween approaches, consider watching Apple TV+'s new serial killer thriller, "Nocturne," which fits perfectly with the eerie mood. Alternatively, if you prefer television, tune into "Nocturne" on Prime Video.

Lastly, Queens of the Stone Age's ninth studio album, "Perfecth," is set to drop on October 30. The album explores themes of human connection, health, and emotional setbacks, with a raw and fragmented sound that reflects on the imperfection of perfection.
