A Treasure Trove Of Ancient Egyptian Painting (London, UK)

 

 

It is only January, but I don't expect to see an exhibition in the next 12 months more moving than what is on view in the British Museum's new gallery of ancient Egyptian art. Beautifully designed, lit and labelled, it is devoted to one of the best-loved works of art in the British Museum - the wall paintings from the tomb-chapel of Nebamun, an obscure accountant attached to the Temple of Amun in Thebes who died around 1350 BC.

Making Tropical Landscaping Into An Art (Brazil)
Brazil teems with jungles, forests and all sorts of exotic plants, flowers and trees. But until the Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx came along to tame and shape his country's exuberant flora, his countrymen had mostly disdained the natural riches that, often literally, flourished in their own backyards.
