Go listen to the whole story in our latest episode. 
Explore the history of #chinoiserie through a feminist lens 
When porcelain arrived in early modern Europe from China, it led to the rise of chinoiserie, a decorative style that encompassed Europe’s fantasies of the East and fixations on the exotic, along with new ideas about women, sexuality, and race.
Visit “Monstrous Beauty: A #Feminist Revision of Chinoiserie” through August 17. #MetMonstrousBeauty

'A new bill introduced in the Texas legislature could fine museums $500,000 per day if they display "obscene" works of art, months after GOP officials sought to remove photographs involving nude children from a museum in Fort Worth. '

'The design consists of three overlapping landscaped volumes that gently rise from the forest floor. The museum will be partially sunken in the ground, so that it blends with the surrounding park and minimizes its footprint. Planted with native species, the sloping green roofs will offer habitats for local flora and fauna.'

"Humans just don’t encounter these animals and the reason is that they live inside the reef."
