Glassblower and porcelain heir Paul Arnhold on the art he loves to collect

The article profiles Paul Arnhold, a New York-based glassblower and fourth-generation heir to a major Meissen porcelain collection. He discusses how his hands-on practice as a maker directly informs his eclectic approach to collecting, which spans from ancient Etruscan artifacts to contemporary paintings by artists like Salman Toor. He emphasizes collecting based on personal joy and tactile presence rather than provenance alone.

Ancient Etruscan monster gets new state-of-the-art home in Florence museum

The Chimaera of Arezzo, a 2,400-year-old Etruscan bronze sculpture of a mythical fire-breathing monster, has been reinstalled in a new dedicated gallery at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze (MAF) in Florence. The installation is part of a major museum renovation—the first since the catastrophic 1966 Florence flood—which includes refitted galleries, a new conservation lab, improved accessibility, and upgraded infrastructure funded by the European Union's PNRR plan.
