Copenhagen boasts a multitude of museums and galleries that will thrill art lovers visiting the city. From large state museums to smaller private collections, the city is packed with exciting art.

Rain fences are designed to store rainwater, reducing pressure on drainage systems during heavy downpours and preserving water for gardens during dry spells. This innovative approach is gaining attention in neighborhoods like Veldhoven, where residents are eager to learn about the costs and benefits of such installations.

The Helmet of Cotofenesti, a priceless gold artefact from Romania, was stolen in January 2025 during a robbery at the Drents Museum in the Netherlands.

The splendid art nouveau Les Brigittines is a Belgian culinary institution, where chef Dirk Myny has overseen the kitchen for 35 years. He daringly reinterprets classic Flemish recipes with dishes such as smoked eel mousse and succulent pork belly with a tart cherry ale vinaigrette.

Amsterdam's strict ban on new hotel developments aims to curb the influx of millions of visitors annually, allowing only existing hotels to be taken over by major brands.

Since I was a teenager, I knew I wasn't meant to live in the US. It never aligned with my values. In my 20s, I worked at a Dutch university and always wanted to return.

Keukenhof Tulip Gardens claims the top spot with a score of 9.08 out of 10, turning the prettiest gardens in the 'Venice of the North' into a spectacle.

Ngumoha was handed just his fourth senior start, yet he played like someone far more experienced, driving relentlessly at defenders, injecting tempo into Liverpool's attack, and offering the kind of directness and unpredictability supporters have long craved.

Often nondescript from the outside and thus easy to miss, these cosy, homely, rustic cafe-style bars typically have plain dark-wood furniture, candles on the tables, aged knick-knacks and faded pictures. There will be dim lighting, usually from antique-style lamps, and they make ideal hubs they are often referred to as a surrogate living room.

The New Museum has been growing in visitors, exhibitions, and activities, transforming the institution into a cultural laboratory with diverse engagements.

Looking at old art gives me a sense of craftsmanship, of what can be achieved with paint. There is nothing comparable with Tefaf. The atmosphere of quality is unmatched. Contemporary art collectors are discovering value in historical works and the fair's curatorial standards, representing a potential shift in how different collector demographics engage with art across temporal boundaries.

Normally, the Murphy Windmill (the largest in the world when it was built in 1908) sits majestically, but silently watching over the southwest corner of Golden Gate Park which no longer needs it to pump the 40,000 gallons of water a day it used to before electric pumps took all the glory. But on April 25, 2026, the brakes come off, and the windmill will turn once again in honor of "King's Day," an annual festival celebrating Dutch culture and traditions.

Lines often form outside the doors of those looking for their choice of French fries, sauces, and toppings - and some of these orders aren't simply topped, they are towers.

This exquisite painting displays how Drost, like his teacher, could capture a sitter's distinct individuality with inner life and contemplative potency. [The painting] shows Drost's own unique sensibility, evident in his carefully modulated brushwork and striking use of color.

This first edition book of Shakespearean poems was published by Kelmscott Press, the private press founded by the English designer and author William Morris in 1891. This example is covered in an opulent, bejewelled binding from the renowned London bookbinders Sangorski and Sutcliffe. The decoration, set with mother-of-pearl and more than 100 precious stones, takes inspiration from the sonnets inside.

The Netherlands has the opportunity to build a European data center with 100,000 AI chips and 20 petabytes of storage, but the government is lagging behind in terms of financial commitment. Energy company Eneco and data center party Volt, who together want to build the AI gigafactory, warn that neighboring countries are moving ahead and emptying the EU subsidy pot of 20 billion euros. "While the Netherlands actually has very good conditions," according to Eneco.

In establishing the fair, a foundation (stichting in Dutch) seemed the most fitting legal entity for the purpose of creating an event 'run by dealers, for dealers... so that nobody had an advantage over anybody else.' That Tefaf operates as a not-for-profit differentiates it from other major art fair brands. There are no shareholders demanding a return, no owners to primp the thing for sale.

Ever walked into a friend's studio apartment and wondered how they made 400 square feet feel like a palace? Meanwhile, your seemingly larger space feels cramped and suffocating? You're not alone. Most of us struggle with making our rooms feel spacious, especially when square footage is at a premium. Working from my apartment corner that I desperately try to convince myself is a "real office," I've become obsessed with every trick that makes small spaces feel bigger.

Fontana is a rare example of a woman Old Master, one of only a few who managed to attain career success on her own and was the first woman elected to the Academy of Saint Luke in Rome. This painting is one of the most ambitious from her early career. Reflecting visual references to Michelangelo-a departure from her usual reference to Correggio and Raphael-the vibrant hues and dramatic composition reflect prevailing Florentine trends of the late 16th century.
