Florence's Galileo Museum has joined online video game Fortnite in the hope of attracting some of its more than 1 million players.

Anyone with a Fortnite account can visit the Galileo Legacy Fortnite Island which was funded by the Italian Ministry of Culture.

It is not the first museum to work with the gaming world in a bid to find a bigger audience - a version of the British Museum was created in Minecraft.

The London institution also inspired a more critical game, Relooted, where players steal artifacts from European museums to take them back to the Museum of Black Civilizations in Dakar, Senegal.

Relooted's creator Ben Myres said he came up with the idea when his mother visited the British Museum and saw an ancient tomb removed from Turkey and rebuilt and displayed in London.

Guggenheim Museum deputy director Naomi Beckwith has been tipped to take the top job at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.

Beckwith previously worked as a curator at the MCA Chicago where director Madeleine Grynsztejn is standing down this year after 18 years in charge.

The Chicago Sun-Times tipped her as a contender to replace Grynsztejn who she said had overseen a "seismic shift" at the museum.

Beckwith told them Grynsztejn left "a very, very different institution than the one she inherited" and which has had success with shows by artists including Takashi Murakami, Nick Cave and Yoko Ono.

Asked if she was in the running for the job, Beckwith told the newspaper she is "busy for quite some time". She is working as artistic director at the documenta 16 show in Kassel, Germany, next year.

It has been a good week for Danh Vo.

The Vietnamese-born artist was one of two winners, along with fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto, of this year's Isamu Noguchi Award and was then commissioned to create work for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's facade.

He is the eighth artist to be chosen to put work in the niches of the building on New York's Fifth Avenue following the likes of Hew Locke and Lee Bul.

Museum director Max Hollein said Vo, and Sandra Mujinga who has been commissioned to create a work for its Great Hall, were both artists who "treat history as something alive and unsettled and are deeply attuned to the ways objects and bodies carry meaning across time."

Vo's work will go on show on September 16 next year with Mujinga's in place by November.
