Will be home to one of the world’s most important collections of 20th century Italian art Milan’s Brera boosts its cultural cachet with an overdue modern art wing and Leonardo’s Last Supper Milan’s Pinacoteca di Brera museum, conceived under Napoleon as a “little Louvre,” is finally getting a modern art addition first envisioned more than 50 years ago with the opening Sunday of Palazzo Citterio, home to one of the world’s most important collections of 20th century Italian art. Completing the project long beset by shifting priorities, periods of neglect and most recently an ill-fated architectural vision was a priority for Brera director Angelo Crespi when he took over in January. Italy’s then-culture minister set Dec. 7 — the feast day for Milan’s patron St. Ambrose — as...

Top denim, second-hand jazz records and plump gyoza in Tokyo

I first arrived in Japan in 1997, when memories of the bubble years were fresh and Tokyo was known for its frenetic nightlife and high prices. Back then I don’t recall anyone using the term “kosupa” – an abbreviation of the English words “cost performance,” which means “value for money.” If the search for kosupa has since become a pastime, its more austere cousin “setsuyaku” (economising) is something of a religion, highlighting how years of deflation and flat wages have turned Tokyoites into master bargain hunters. While I have covered elections, the Olympics and the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, I’m mainly responsible for Reuters business coverage, a job that leaves me constantly amazed at Japan’s ability to tighten its belt, even when it seems there’s no belt...

Mexico study throws up surprising findings on climate change A surprising study of temperature-related deaths in Mexico upends conventional thinking about what age group is hit hardest by heat. Researchers found at higher temperatures and humidity, the heat kills far more young people under 35 than those older than 50. For decades, health and weather experts have warned that the elderly and the youngest children were most vulnerable in heat waves. But this study looking at all deaths in Mexico from 1998 to 2019 shows that when the combination of humidity and temperature reach uncomfortable levels, such as the mid to upper 80s Fahrenheit (around 30 degrees Celsius) and 50% relative humidity, there were nearly 32 temperature-related deaths of people 35 years old for every temperature-...

The centuries-old Paris landmark Notre-Dame Cathedral reopens on Saturday, five-and-a-half years after a devastating fire destroyed its spire and roof and brought the entire Gothic masterpiece within minutes of collapsing. The 860-year-old medieval building has been meticulously restored, with a new spire and rib vaulting, its flying buttresses and carved stone gargoyles returned to their past glory and the white stone and gold decorations shining brighter than ever.

Prince Mohammed bin Salman Royal Reserve has reintroduced the Persian onager to Saudi Arabia, marking the species' return to the Kingdom after more than a century of absence. In April 2024, seven Persian onagers were translocated from the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature's Shaumari Reserve in Jordan to the Reserve, establishing the first wild population in the Kingdom in over a century. Following their 935-kilometer journey, the onagers have adapted well to their new habitat, with the birth of the first foal in the Reserve—a significant milestone in rewilding efforts for both the Reserve and Saudi Arabia. "These are the first free running onager seen in Saudi Arabia since their extinction in the early 1900s. Historically celebrated ...
