The weather couldnt be more glorious, but sometimes one needs a little culture to break up the beach time. Here are some fantastic fashion and art exhibits that are worth spending a few hours indoors. Theyre also a great chance to do a little shopping (Anna Suis pop-up shop) or make a day of it by staying for lunch (the Nortons restaurant).
