The life and work of Frida Kahlo will be celebrated in a new museum opening this year in Mexico City.

The Museo Casa Kahlo will be based at the family home, Casa Roja, which has been donated by Kahlo’s grandniece Mara Romeo Kahlo. It will be run by Adan Garcia Fajardo who currently works at the city's Museum of Memory and Tolerance.

It is part of a plan by a new non-profit organization set up by the Kahlo family to protect her artistic legacy. The foundation will also set up a biennial art prize and offer grants in her name.

Joseph Stalin’s reputation is being rehabilitated sculpture by sculpture in Putin's Russia.

The latest monument to the man who oversaw the deaths of millions has been unveiled in Moscow's metro where a huge wall sculpture in the Taganskaya station shows him surrounded by adoring citizens.

The work, with the Soviet-style title Gratitude of the People to the Leader-Commander, is dedicated to victory in World War II according to a statement from the transportation system.

It is a replica of a monument installed in the 1950s and reportedly “lost” after Stalin’s death during a revamp of the station.

Earlier this month, members of Russia’s Communist Party erected a bust of the dictator in the Moscow-controlled Ukrainian city of Melitopol.

A major retrospective of Brazilian artist Lygia Clark opens at Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie today.

More than 120 works are going on show dating from the 1940s to the 1980s following her career from early abstract paintings to sculptures and performance art.

Clark, who died in 1988, was a pioneer in her participatory approach to her work describing them as "living experiences" that needed the viewer’s active participation.

The exhibition runs to October 12 before it goes to Zurich where it will be on show from November 14 to March 8 next year.

Environmental campaigners have called for a halt to a long-planned $45 million dollar satellite to Bilbao's Guggenheim Museum.

The project would link the Frank Gehry-designed museum to two other sites - a former factory in Guernica and a shipyard in Murueta - via a "green path" through the Urdaibai nature reserve.

In a statement, the Mediterranean Alliance for Wetlands campaign group said the plan "risks undermining biodiversity, water quality, and the integrity of conservation frameworks".

The museum has previously said the project would bring around 148,000 more visitors to the region and provide almost 1,000 jobs locally.
