With a sense of timing rare in the museum world, tomorrow sees the opening of financier Michael Milken's $550 million Center for Advancing the American Dream just down from the White House.

The free museum on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC, founded by the financier once known as the "junk-bond king", includes an exhibition featuring two large murals by Miss Chelove, three quilts by Basil Kincaid and a series of photographs by Berndnaut Smilde.

Visitors can see a Hall of Dreams paid for by entertainment mogul and museum philanthopist David Geffen and also use AI hologram technology to have "conversations" with the likes of tennis legend Serena Williams.

Milken was a major figure in 1980s Wall Street before being jailed for fraud. He was released and later pardoned by President Donald Trump in 2020.
