Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum opens a major Yayoi Kusama exhibition after her death last month.
What was to have been a retrospective has turned into a posthumous celebration of one of the globe's best known contemporary artists, who depicted her world splashed with polka dots and other repetitive motifs.

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.

"La Musicienne".
Musée d'art et d'histoire de Neuchâtel
Crafted between 1768 and 1774 by watchmakers Pierre Jaquet-Droz, Henri-Louis, and Jean-Frédéric Leschot, these mechanical marvels are extremely delicate. To preserve them, the museum only operates them once a month: every 1st Sunday at 14:00, 15:00, and 16:00.

A 12th-century BC Elamite blue chalcedony pendant from ancient Iran, preserved in the British Museum. Engraved in #cuneiform, it carries a remarkably intimate dedication from King Shilhak-Inshushinak to his daughter: "I, Shilhak-Inshushinak, enlarger of the realm, took this stone from the land of Puralish; what I painstakingly crafted, I placed here and gave to Bar-Uli, my beloved daughter."
