Amid crackdowns on dissent, Russia’s private museums are threatened

Russia's private art museums, once symbols of post-Soviet integration into Western elite culture, are now struggling to survive amid increasing state repression and the war in Ukraine. The Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, founded by Roman Abramovich and Dasha Zhukova, was raided by security services in 2024 and visited by right-wing activists demanding pro-war messaging; its founding director was replaced. Other institutions have closed entirely: the Institute of Russian Realist Art shut in 2019 after its founder Aleksei Ananyev fled embezzlement charges, and Art4.ru, Russia's first private contemporary art museum, closed in 2024 after a nationalist raid. The GES-2 House of Culture, financed by gas magnate Leonid Mikhelson, lost its visionary director shortly after opening and now operates under a lawyer.

LACMA’s US$720m David Geffen Galleries expansion to open in 2026

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has announced that its long-awaited David Geffen Galleries expansion will open in April 2026, over two decades after the project was first announced in 2001. Designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, the $720 million serpentine structure spans Wilshire Boulevard and replaces several older buildings, increasing gallery space from 130,000 to 220,000 square feet. The project faced numerous setbacks, including public criticism of the design, concerns over the nearby La Brea Tar Pits, the discovery of sabre-toothed tiger skulls during construction, pandemic delays, the departure of longtime donor The Ahmanson Foundation, and Zumthor's distancing from the project in 2023 due to cost compromises. A series of soft openings are planned for summer 2025 before the full public debut.

A Testimony to Survival and Hope Amid Chaos and Destruction

Vian Sora's first solo museum exhibition in the United States, 'Outerworlds,' is on view at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art (SBMA) through September 7. The exhibition features vibrant, layered abstract paintings that the artist describes as deeply personal, including 'Forest Remains,' a 2023 SBMA acquisition that she considers a self-portrait about migration and assimilation. Sora, born in Baghdad and a survivor of the Iran–Iraq War, Gulf War, and the 2003 invasion, discussed her work in a conversation with SBMA Chief Curator James Glisson, explaining how a 2015 hysterectomy led to a dramatic shift in her style toward bold, colorful compositions. The show will travel to the Speed Art Museum in Louisville and the Asia Society Texas Center after its Santa Barbara run.

Holbein drawings go back on show at Kunstmuseum Basel after almost 20 years

The Kunstmuseum Basel has reinstalled a collection of extremely fragile Hans Holbein drawings in a dedicated gallery as part of a major rehang of its 14th- to 19th-century galleries. The works, mostly preparatory studies by the Northern Renaissance painter, have not been publicly displayed for nearly 20 years and are so light-sensitive that the gallery's lighting system activates only when visitors enter. The museum's director, Elena Filipovic, notes that the drawings entered the collection in 1661 and have been kept undercover since the 1980s, last appearing in a major Holbein exhibition in 2006.

The painting has been on the market only twice before, most recently selling for €104,000 in 2018.

Fire-damaged room at Castle Howard brought back to life by meticulous restoration

The Tapestry Drawing Room at Castle Howard, a historic stately home in Yorkshire, England, has been meticulously restored after being gutted by a fire in 1940. The room, originally adorned with early 18th-century tapestries woven by John Vanderbank and based on scenes by David Teniers, was reduced to a scorched shell. Nick Howard, whose family has lived in the house for three centuries, oversaw the restoration, which involved reinstalling the original tapestries—found rolled up in the attic—after conservation by Alison Stanton. The centerpiece, a painting by Marco Ricci titled *Judgment of Paris*, and a newly built fireplace based on archival photographs complete the revival.

Guards initially struggled to respond, but the exhibition was closed within half an hour, and the Louvre confirmed no works were damaged.

Berlin's Deutsches Historisches Museum has opened an exhibition titled "On Displaying Violence: First Exhibitions on the Nazi Occupation in Europe, 1945-48," which revisits six post-World War II exhibitions that attempted to process the atrocities of the war.

‘It’s much more extreme’: US institutions and artists enter a new culture war

Since President Donald Trump took office, his administration has rapidly dismantled parts of the U.S. cultural infrastructure through executive orders and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk. Key federal funding bodies—the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA)—have faced staff cuts, grant cancellations, and threats of further reductions. Trump has also replaced leadership at the Kennedy Center and signaled similar moves against the Smithsonian Institution, while DOGE visited the National Gallery of Art to discuss its legal status. Arts organizations and advocates are scrambling to assess the damage and find alternative funding.
