The future of Nigeria's Benin Bronzes is a $2.7 million question.

That is the estimated cost of building a new museum to house the works which have begun to be returned to the country more than a century after being looted by British troops.

More than 100 have been returned this year with museums in Sweden, Britain and Germany all planning to deliver more next year.

Olugbile Holloway, the director of the government agency that runs Nigeria’s museums, told the New York Times he wanted to raise the money without calling on international help.

He said: "That in itself would tell a story of us doing it for ourselves, rather than playing into the cliché of Africans going cap in hand to the West."

The works are currently in storage in Benin City with plans for them to go on show in museums across the country until they get a permanent home.

The New Mexico landscape that inspired Georgia O'Keeffe will be preserved under a new "once-in-a-generation" agreement.

The deal, funded to the tune of $921,450 by the state government, was signed by the National Ghost Ranch Foundation and the Presbyterian Church Foundation to protect 6,000 acres of land around the ranch near Sante Fe where the painter had a home.

O’Keeffe painted the nearby hill, Cerro Pedernal, many times and her ashes were scattered on its top after her death in 1986.

David Evans, CEO of the Ghost Ranch Education & Retreat Center, said: "This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect one of the most iconic landscapes in New Mexico."

The number of people who signed a petition asking French President Emmanuel Macron not to replace 19th-century windows at Notre Dame cathedral in Paris with new stained glass designed by French painter Claire Tabouret. He ignored them and her designs go on show today in the city's Grand Palais until March 15.

The Turner Prize was set up to "promote public debate around new developments in contemporary British art" and last night it did just that.

The decision to give the $33,276 prize to 59-year-old Nnena Kalu, who is autistic and has limited verbal communication, was described as "maddening" by one critic while another hailed her as a "worthy" winner.

Away from the split opinions, Kalu made history as the first artist with a learning disability to win the prize which counts Helen Marten, Laure Prouvost and Jeremy Deller among previous winners.

The judges chose her over Rene Matic, Mohammed Sami and Zadie Xa and praised her work which combines large swirling drawings with sculptures wrapped in layers of ribbon, string and videotape.

All four shortlisted artists have work on show at the Cartwright Hall Art Gallery in Bradford in the north of England until February 22.

The devout and the curious queued through the night to see Seville's newly restored Virgin of the Macarena statue after a four-month restoration project.

It was the second time restoration work had been carried out this year - the first attempt which left it with exaggerated eyelashes and what was described as "a vacuous doll's stare" was so bad it led to protests in the streets of the Spanish city.

The most recent attempt saw conservators work inside a sealed oxygen-free chamber to eliminate the risk of woodworm and repaint the eyebrows using old photographs as a guide.

Its unveiling on Monday was celebrated with fireworks and the ringing of church bells.
