France's iconic Pompidou Centre in Paris has called off its plan to open its first US branch in Jersey City – strictly speaking in the state of New Jersey, but considered a suburb of New York – in 2027. The museum says that the project has been "suspended until further notice," confirming reports in the US media. With its financing a source of controversy from the outset, the project’s future was thrown into real jeopardy when local authorities in New Jersey withdrew public funding on Saturday. “While we are honoured that Jersey City was selected as the first North American location for a Cent...

Paris (AFP) - France's Pompidou Centre, one of the world's leading modern art museums, confirmed on Tuesday that its plan to open a satellite branch in New York had been suspended. The Paris-based museum, known for its colourful and tubular building, was due to open a branch in Jersey City in the suburbs of New York in 2027. But it has been "suspended until further notice," the Pompidou said, confirming a report in US media. Local authorities considered the cost -- which involved some $18 million in public redevelopment funds -- too high, according to a letter they published in the New Jerse...

Moreau Kusunoki will bring their plans to fruition with the help of Mexico City and New York-based studio Frida Escobedo. According to the studios, the overhaul s...

It makes sense that the founder of a new cheese museum in Paris would have cheese as his profile picture on Whatsapp. The colour of Cantaloupe, cheesemaker Pierre Brisson tells me it's Mimolette - a strong cheese traditionally produced in Lille that he'd carefully carved into a flower. "It's a technique to make the cheese more appealing," Brisson says. Lovely, but let's be honest: when it comes to cheese, most people don't need any floral flourishes to kickstart their salivary glands. In fact, the uglier and stinkier the better. Whether grated, melted, baked, sliced or slabbed on a board, Fran...

It’s the rarest album on earth, only listened to by a handful of people. But now, the public is going to get the chance to finally give it a spin. Only snag – you'll have to shell out for a ticket to Australia. The Australian island of Tasmania, to be precise. The sole copy of Wu-Tang Clan's 'Once Upon a Time in Shaolin' will be played to the public for the first time at The Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) in Hobart. The institution will be holding limited listening events as part of its upcoming exhibition, Namedropping, during which visitors can experience a curated 36-minute mix from the...
