The late Thai businessman and collector Petch Osathanugrah spent decades dreaming of building a contemporary art museum in Bangkok and this weekend his son will see that dream "over the finishing line".

Purat “Chang” Osathanugrah, whose father died in 2023, will formally open Dib Bangkok to the public on Sunday.

Among the work on show in the building, designed by Kulapat Yantrasast, is a major James Turrell installation and pieces by Alicja Kwade and Pinaree Sanpitak.

Chang told Monacle Magazine: "My dad has been going on about wanting to build an art museum my whole life and it shaped my understanding of culture and art. I’m just really happy to have had the privilege of carrying the torch over the finishing line."

The amount the Australian government has set aside to make the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra weatherproof. The gallery, which is home to a collection valued at $4.88 billion, has battled with a leaking roof and windows in recent years.

Things are anything but ACE at Arts Council England with public calls for its chair Nicholas Serota to go after a critical review of its work.

The review, by Labor politician Margaret Hodge, said the way it gave out government money to arts organizations in England was "stifling artistic innovation and creativity".

She said the organization, often known by its initials, had "sidelined" art and excellence and was in need of a "comprehensive overhaul of its systems".

The review found "a damaging climate of instability, fear, and self-censorship" among some organizations dependent on ACE funding.

Her views were echoed in the Daily Telegraph where music critic Ivan Hewett said "heads should roll" and lambasted the "messianic zeal" of the organization under Serota who spent many years in charge at Tate.

He said: "It will take years to restore that trust and repair the damage, and the essential first step is surely to sweep out the current regime."

Works from the collection of the late Samsung boss Lee Kun-Hee are currently gracing the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art in Washington, D.C. but you can see them at the flick of a switch.

Around 20 pieces from the collection are available as digitial works on your TV screen via the company's Art Store including works painted for Korean emperors and religious images.

A larger selection from the collection is currently on show in the US capital before continuing to the Art Institute of Chicago and London's British Museum.

The whole collection includes more than 23,000 works donated by his family to the National Museum of Korea in Seoul and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in 2021.

The Samsung Art Store includes more than 4,000 artworks in 4K resolution from the collections of museums including the Louvre and Tate that are made available to owners of its televisions.

This is the first look at the planned $150 million Las Vegas Museum of Art.

Architect Francis Kere said the design of the 60,000-square-foot building, set to open in the city's Symphony Park in 2028, is inspired by the surrounding Mojave Desert and includes a shaded entrance.

Director Heather Harmon said the building was intended to be a community space for the city, telling the LA Times: "We really wanted to have that feeling of understanding as we approached the project - just knowing firsthand who we were building the museum for.”

Among its most vocal backers was local philanthropist and collector Elaine Wynn who worked in partnership with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art to support it until her death in April.

Speaking last year, she described the new museum as her "personal legacy of giving something back to my city".
