The British Museum has successfully raised £3.5 million ($4.8 million) to acquire a rare 16th-century gold 'Tudor Heart' pendant, discovered by a metal detectorist in 2019. The pendant, linked to King Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, will enter the museum's permanent collection and is expected to tour the UK.
The Fondation Alberto et Annette Giacometti has announced the 2028 opening of the Giacometti Museum and School in Paris’s 7th arrondissement. Housed in the former Invalides train station, the 6,000-square-meter facility will be the first museum dedicated entirely to the Swiss master, replacing the much smaller Institut Giacometti. The site will showcase a massive collection of over 10,000 items, including 400 sculptures and 100 paintings, many of which have never been exhibited.
