On September 11, 2001, 24-year-old Japanese man Kei Sugimoto filmed the attack on the World Trade Center from a rooftop about 3 kilometers away. Twenty-three years later in 2024, he rediscovered the deteriorating tapes and published the footage, preserving a visual record that came close to disappearing forever.

(Gross political interference)
In late Friday night social media posts, President Donald Trump demands the Smithsonian to install a colossal statue of George Washington outside the National Museum of American History and a special exhibit honoring the nation's first president.
For Constitution Day on Sept. 17, Trump asks them to install the 11-foot statue of Washington featured at the recent Freedom 250 IndyCar race in the museum's Flag Hall.

An Egyptian scarab amulet was discovered in an Oretani tomb at the Necropolis of El Toro in central Spain. Made of faience and inscribed with Egyptian hieroglyphs and Demotic characters, it likely reached Iberia through Phoenician-Punic trade networks by the 6th century BC. Buried alongside local cremated remains and grave goods, the object shows how far Egyptian symbols and Mediterranean exchange reached long before Roman rule.

Gifts from Emperor #Puyi to his departing tutor Johnston reside in the SOAS library and archives. These include the emperor’s fan, now part of the Library’s Special Chinese Art Collection. The black fan features a landscape picture in gold and bears an inscription of the Imperial Seal of Xuantong (Puyi was the Xuantong Emperor). The fan was given as a farewell gift on 15th September 1930 when Johnston left China following the formal handover of Weihai back to Chinese sovereignty.

Police are searching for two thieves who stole four Renoir paintings from a French museum, before dropping two in the gardens as they fled the scene.
According to French media, the four stolen paintings were: Portrait of Madame Pichon (1895); Coco Lisant (1905); Portrait of Madame Colonna Romano (1910), and Jeune fille au puits (1886). The latter two are still missing.

This beautiful gold enamelled spoon is from early 19th-century Iran.
The art of enamelling was especially popular during the Qajar period, which this spoon dates from.
Water pipe bases, swords and daggers, mirrors, and tableware are some of the types of objects which were painted with enamels. Several signed and dated pieces survive, many of which date to the times of Fath ‘Ali Shah, the Qajar ruler of Iran from 1797 to 1834.
