The world’s largest museum of applied arts, design and craft
The OUT Museum, created by Chen in San Francisco’s Chinatown, has opened with a small exhibit of Chinese queer art, as activists and artists push for broader recognition of LGBTQ+ voices in China and the diaspora. The project began in China via Kickstarter and now thrives in a city navigating policy changes around LGBTQ+ rights.
The David Bowie: On Tour exhibition has begun its national run, starting at V&A Dundee and touring to Blackpool, County Durham, Hull and Bristol. It features more than 100 artefacts, including Ziggy Stardust costumes, Berlin-era keys, Low-era art and a rare Simpsons-related item, drawn from Bowie's stored archive.
A family’s attic discovery of 100+ silver items dating from the 18th to 20th centuries has fetched £59,761 at Elmwood’s auction in London, surpassing pre-sale estimates of around £23,000. The Danish cutlery set led the sale, with other pieces including tea services and a Russian tankard finding new homes.
