New York’s Neue Galerie—the fifteen-year-old museum dedicated to early-twentieth century Austrian and German art and design—recently amped up its efforts to ensure that the works in its collection are of sound provenance. The museum’s co-founder, Ronald Lauder, who is also Chairman of the Commission for Art Recovery, announced that the undertaking has revealed that one of the Neue Galerie’s most important works has a troublesome past.

Tate Britain has revamped its popular J.M.W. Turner galleries—an endeavor that involved reinstalling the institution’s illustrious collection and painting some of the walls a rich red that the artist used in his own picture gallery. The 300 works on view at the Tate recently returned from a wildly popular North American tour. Tate Britain is home to nearly 40,000 oil paintings, watercolors, and drawings by Turner.

Over the past few years, the Nantucket Historical Association (NHA) has increased its focus on design—a shift that culminated with the organization’s decision to forego its annual summer antiques show for a more interior design-driven event in 2016. While an exciting change for the NHA, many were not ready to say goodbye to the Nantucket Summer Antiques Show, which has become something of an institution on and off the island.

Despite its well-documented financial struggles, the Metropolitan Museum of Art announced that it welcomed a record 6.7 million visitors during the fiscal year ending on June 30. The museum tallied up visitors to its three locations—its main building on Fifth Avenue, the Cloisters, and the new Met Breuer. The institution has been struggling with a $10 million deficit that has led to numerous cost-cutting measures, such as voluntary buyouts to longtime staff members.

A lively Keith Haring mural located in a building in Morningside, Queens, faces an uncertain future as the structure’s longtime owners might be selling or leasing the property to developers.

The church has been facing financial difficulties and announced that tenants would need to vacate their apartments by August 1.
