Blood, skeletons and syphilis: the story of Edvard Munch’s obsession with health

An exhibition at the Munch Museum in Oslo, titled "Lifeblood," explores Edvard Munch's lifelong obsession with health and medicine by juxtaposing his paintings, drawings, and prints with historical medical objects. The show opens with Munch's painting "On the Operating Table" (1902-3), inspired by a bullet removal surgery after a dispute with his fiancée Tulla Larsen, paired with an early x-ray of his injured hand. It features works like "The Sick Child" (1885-6) alongside tuberculosis-related artifacts such as stethoscopes, sputum bottles, and a jar of arsenic, drawing from Munch's personal experiences with illness and his family's medical background—his father and brother were doctors.

The Art of the Tour: King Charles's Traveling Painters

King Charles III has sponsored an exhibition titled “The King’s Tour Artists” at Buckingham Palace, featuring 43 artists he recruited to paint during 70 royal tours over the past 40 years. The show, open until September 28, includes 74 paintings selected from over 300 works in the King’s private collection, alongside a companion book, *The Art of Royal Travel: Journeys with The King*. The idea originated from Peter St. Clair-Erskine, the 7th Earl of Rosslyn, who catalogued the collection. Critics have dismissed the works as polite and old-fashioned, but the exhibition highlights Charles’s long-standing patronage of representational art and his own practice as a watercolorist.

Why ‘devastating’ climate control rules for museum collections need a rethink

Museums are rethinking decades-old climate control standards that dictate strict temperature and humidity ranges for preserving collections. These guidelines, originally based on 1970s research for paintings in London, have been widely adopted globally despite being designed for temperate climates. Conservator Caitlin Southwick of Ki Culture argues this is a "big misunderstanding," as the standards were never intended for diverse collections like stone in Brazil or tapestries in Italy. Climate control systems now account for 60-70% of a typical museum's energy consumption, creating high costs and carbon footprints.

Less than two years after opening, the Museum of Censored Art in Barcelona has closed its doors

The Museu de l’Art Prohibit (Museum of Censored Art) in Barcelona, the world's first museum dedicated to censored artworks, has closed indefinitely less than two years after opening. Founded in October 2023 by Catalan journalist and businessman Tatxo Benet, the museum housed over 200 banned works by artists including Ai Weiwei, David Wojnarowicz, and Abel Azcona. The closure, announced on June 27, was attributed to financial losses caused by four months of picketing by the Solidarity and Unity of Workers union (SUT), which protested the museum's termination of a contract with management company Magma Cultura. The union demanded better working conditions, including improved air conditioning, more breaks, and higher pay.
