The arrival of autumn comes not only with scenic foliage but an exciting collection of new art exhibits around the country. Here are a few to add to your bucket list.

In New York, the newest attraction drawing a crowd is the recently opened “Gulliver’s Gate.” The exhibit contains a miniature world in 50,000 square feet, crafted by model makers from around the world. The display features landmarks like the Leaning Tower of Pisa and Grand Central Station, as well as representations of day-to-day to life with more than 100,000 tiny people, trains, cars and buildings.

Also in New York this fall is the impressive “Jim Henson Exhibition” at the Museum of the Moving Image. The museum pays tribute to Henson’s groundbreaking work, from his early career to his success with The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock and Labyrinth. The exhibit features original puppets, drawings, storyboards, scripts, photographs and more.

Head to Boston to catch “The Real and Reel Casablanca” at the International Museum of World War II. To mark the 75th anniversary of American troops dispatched to North Africa to enter World War II, the exhibit focuses on Casablanca on screen and in history. The exhibit, opening Nov. 8, features 75 artifacts, including Gen. Eisenhower’s decoded message to enter the war, photographs, original movie posters and a chair from Rick’s Café.

The New Orleans Museum of Art launched an exhibition called “East of the Mississippi: Nineteenth-Century American Landscape Photography,” showcasing rarely seen 19th-century photography. The images are light sensitive and many have never been on view to the public.

Now docked in the Port of Long Beach in California, Queen Mary, the most famous surviving ocean liner, would have been the Titanic’s successor. The ship revisits Titanic’s history in a new exhibit featuring period photographs and artifacts. Guests walk the decks and see the staterooms, Smoking Room, Turkish Bath and Grand Staircase. Visitors can also glimpse the actual sheet music carried with bandleader Wallace Hartley, who led his musicians in song in the ship’s final moments before descent.

Choose Your Own Island Vibe in French Polynesia

“We are on small, tiny rocks, isolated in the middle of the largest ocean.” On a nature tour on the atoll of Tetiaroa, my naturalist guide, Thierry Sommers, thus reminded me of the oceanic remoteness of our location in the South Pacific. I was staying at The Brando, a luxurious private island resort that sits a mere 30-minute flight from the main island of Tahiti but still feels gloriously far away from regular civilization.
