The number of people who visited the Damien Hirst show at South Korea's National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) in Seoul. The show, which ran from March 20 to June 28, averaged 5,645 visitors a day and pulled in double the usual number of teenagers.

Work by artists including Fred Eversley that survived the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing are returning to the museum that stands on the site of the attack.

The Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum's new Foreward extension will become home to 19 pieces saved from the rubble of the Murrah building destroyed in the attack that killed 168 people.

Its director Kari Watkins told the Oklahoma Public Media Exchange the state's then-First Lady Cathy Keating led a team of volunteers who "helped bring the art out and salvaged it".

Watkins said the new building, which will open next year, allowed the collection to go on show "on the same ground in which it was nearly destroyed".

They will first be put into storage where conservators will work on them to repair any damage caused in the past three decades when they have been on show in a university library.

It is not just the torturous negotiations over the loan of the Bayeux Tapestry that brought British Museum director Nicholas Cullinan to Paris in recent months. He has also been having his portrait painted.

The work by Elizabeth Peyton which now hangs in his former employer, London's National Portrait Gallery, was at least partially painted in Paris.

Showing off the work on Instagram, Cullinan said: "The sittings took place between Paris where Elizabeth is based and her studio @museelouvre and my home in London."

Peyton has donated the commissioned portrait to the gallery to mark Cullinan's time in charge which included a major show of her work.

1 - Seattle's Bellevue Arts Museum is leaving its Steven Holl-designed downtown home and will not open year-round as it recovers from financial losses. The nonprofit sold the building to pay its debts but will continue to run its art fair weekend which draws around 150,000 visitors every year.

2 - A court ordered the Netherlands Photo Museum in Rotterdam to pay two years wages - $455,000 - to former managing director Birgit Donker after ruling she was unfairly dismissed. She was sacked after being suspended last June over claims she presided over a "toxic" workplace but the court ordered the museum to publish a statement on its website saying it had been "too hasty" in removing her.

3 - A statue of a real-life boxer has replaced a fictional fighter outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The statue of Smokin' Joe Frazier, who lived in the city for decades, has been permanently placed at the foot of the museum steps which was previously the site of a Rocky statue which is now at the top of the steps.

4 - Digital artist Refik Anadol will project a new work, Smithsonian Dreams, onto the outside of the institution's original home on the National Mall in Washington DC. He has used AI to create the projection based on data gathered from millions of objects from its collection.

5 - Painter Terry Winters has given seven works to the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas. They will go on show in a exhibition of his work, which runs from September 25 to April 4, 2027, alongside 51 pieces donated to the museum in 2024 from the collection of photographer Jack Shear and his late husband, Ellsworth Kelly.
