Lynda Roscoe Hartigan's appointment to helm the American Art Museum is also a return: She began her career at the institution in the 1970s and became its chief curator in 2003.

The Wiener Holocaust Library is one of the world's leading and most extensive archives on the Holocaust and Nazi era, dedicated to supporting research, learning, teaching and advocacy about the Holocaust and genocide.

Take Back Power, which describes itself as a nonviolent civil resistance group, appears to be an offshoot of Just Stop Oil and has previously claimed responsibility for both incidents.

Zumthor's design harnesses the acuity of natural light and the horizontality of the built landscape, creating a glorious showcase for antiquities.

Isamu Noguchi's exhibition at the Long Island City museum reveals his vision for urban spaces, including a proposed playground in Central Park that was ultimately rejected by Robert Moses.

"The idea for a dedicated consultancy arm actually predates GCC's launch in 2020. Right from the beginning, it was clear that while shared standards, tools and advocacy are essential, many organisations would require hands-on, tailored support to implement meaningful change."

A commemorative bronze head, from around 1850, is a representation of the ancestor of a chief and would have been placed in the king's ancestral shrine.

The National Gallery celebrated its bicentenary by entirely rehanging its collection and launched the Art Road Trip program, collaborating with 24 local arts organizations.

The significant number of ancestors held in UK museums is extremely distressing and symbolic of the colonial origins of these collections. We hope that the responses gathered by The Guardian will be shared with the relevant communities to support them in bringing their ancestors home.

Léribault's first mission, according to Macron, will be the "appeasement" of a museum which has been badly hurt by the theft of France's crown jewels on 19 October and a string of scandals since then. He will need all his diplomatic talents to face the unions, who have led an unprecedented series of strikes, asking a rise in wages.

Bregman claims, 'Today the whole of Europe risks turning into one big Venice, a beautiful open-air museum. A great destination for Chinese and American tourists. A place to admire what was once the centre of the world.' This statement encapsulates the concern that Europe is losing its cultural significance.

Arguably the world's most famous Greek temple, the Parthenon was constructed in a flurry of building activity on the Acropolis of Athens, under the direction of the indefatigable statesman Pericles in the middle of the fifth century BC. It was a monument to recent tragedy in Athens as much as a celebration of the city's glory: The Acropolis had been leveled by Persian invaders in 480 BC, and its temples had been left in ruins for 30 years, a colossal absence reminding citizens how close they had come to annihilation.

When Thomas Jefferson wrote about the "inalienable" rights of man in the US Declaration of Independence 250 years ago, it's possible he lifted the term from the French. And long before it was ever used as an adjective to describe human rights, it defined royal property. To this day, "inalienability" remains a cornerstone of public collections in France-and many other countries-impacting museums and their ability to deaccession, including for purposes of restitution.
