So you didn’t get out much this summer. Happy news: This fall’s big museum shows will take you on a trip ’round the world — minus those pesky TSA agents.

The bawdy days of Berlin will be recalled in all their often X-rated glory at the Neue Galerie. Opening Oct. 1, “Berlin Metropolis” covers the “golden” years of 1918-1933, a modern age both for women and artists like George Grosz and Max Beckmann, who felt free to express themselves. There’ll be paintings, drawings, sculpture, collage, photography, film and fashion — all of it organized by Dr. Olaf Peters, the man behind the Galerie’s 2014 blockbuster, “Degenerate Art.” (Through Jan. 4; 1048 Fifth Ave., at 86th Street; neuegalerie.org)

Granted, “The Middle Kingdom” sounds like a chapter in the “Lord of the Rings” saga. But it’s just the subtitle for the Met’s upcoming show, “Ancient Egypt Transformed.” Drawn from dozens of private and public collections are some 200-odd artifacts from tombs, homes and temples dating as far back as 2030 B.C.

Expect to see everything from sculptures — including some poignant ones of mothers and children — to canopic jars, which held the organs of the deceased. (Oct. 12 to Jan. 24; Fifth Avenue at 82nd Street, metmuseum.org)

Could there be anything more exotic-sounding than “the Kongo”? Five centuries of art of the Central African region now home to Angola and the north and south republics of the Congo go on display at the Met’s “Kongo: Power and Majesty” show, running Friday through Jan. 3. Among the highlights: capes and caps studded with leopard claws, and the carved wooden female figures that adorned a Kongo leader’s final resting place. (metmuseum.org)

Perhaps you think Impressionism was just a French thing — but you’d be wrong. On Oct. 2, the Brooklyn Museum unveils “Impressionism and the Caribbean: Francisco Oller and His Transatlantic World,” an eye-opening look at the Puerto Rican-born painter whose besties included Camille Pissarro and Paul Cézanne. Shown with Oller’s tropically infused works will be rarely seen watercolors by Winslow Homer and paintings by Oller’s Parisian contemporaries Cézanne and Monet.

Usually you have to go to Paris to see Picasso’s sculptures of goats, guitars and, of course, women — works he loved so much, he kept most of them at his home. Now MoMA is bringing them to New York, in the biggest showing of the feisty Spaniard’s three-dimensional works in nearly 50 years. Opening Monday, “Picasso Sculpture” will fill the museum’s entire fourth floor — the better to see every work in the round. There’ll also be related drawings and photos of Picasso’s works by France’s famed photographer Brassaï. (Through Feb. 7; 11 W. 53rd St.; moma.org)

Then again, maybe you just want to see more of America — through the eyes of one of its greatest living artists. That would be Frank Stella, who, at 79, is still living and working in New York. On Oct. 30 the Whitney unveils “Frank Stella: A Retrospective” — about 100 paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings that will take up all of the museum’s 18,000-square-foot fifth-floor gallery.

Here you’ll see his “Black Paintings” — the ones he did in enamel house paint — including such minimalist masterworks as 1959’s “Die Fahne Hoch!,” which takes a broad swipe at the Nazis. As museum director Adam Weinberg sees it, “Frank is a radical innovator who has, from the beginning, absorbed the lessons of art history and then remade the world on his own artistic terms.” Amen!
