Artworks are always coming and going in a museum, as they are regularly lent for exhibitions. And therefore new artworks are exhibited to replace the ones which have left. I was very pleased to see this Leda by Andrea del Sarto appear on the walls of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium!

The Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades remains safe and intact this morning, January 8, and will be closed at least through early next week.

While vegetation on the property has burned, Getty structures have been unaffected, and thankfully, both staff and collections are safe.

NEW: Why do we always think crime is rising, even when it isn’t?

This week I looked at one of the big data mysteries. Britain is 2/3 less violent than the 1990s; thefts were higher pre-lockdown

Why, then, doesn’t it feel like it?
