Asked to name his favorite New York museum, incoming mayor Zohran Mamdani gave the perfect politician's answer.

Picking the obvious reply of one of the city's world-class institutions such as the Met or the Guggenheim would only have offended the rest so instead he took the diplomatic route of saying "our subway system".

He told the New York Times he did not mean its "crumbling" infrastructure but instead its public art program which can be enjoyed by New Yorkers and visitors to the city "no matter how much money is in their pocket".

The city's Metropolitan Transportation Authority is home to more than 350 works of art including pieces by Amy Pryor, Glenn Goldberg and Luisa Caldwell.

Its most recent addition is Abstract Futures - a 600‑square‑foot glass‑mosaic mural by the Hilma’s Ghost collective, founded by Brooklyn-based duo Dannielle Tegeder and Sharmistha Ray, that can be seen at the 42 St/3rd Avenue entrance to the 7 train line at Grand Central Station.

A Californian collector has handed a 2,000-year-old bronze statue of a Roman emperor back to Turkey as part of a legal deal with the Manhattan District Attorney.

The New York Times reported Aaron Mendelsohn, 74, of Santa Monica, gave up all claims to the $1.33 million statue and prosecutors agreed to drop a warrant for his arrest for possession of stolen property.

It was one of dozens of items handed back to Turkey in New York on Monday including a $800,000 marble head of the Greek orator Demosthenes which had been in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Another work from the museum - a Byzantine sculpture of the Archangel Michael - was also returned but immediately loaned back to them for three months at the ceremony attended by Met director Max Hollein and several Turkish politicians.
