Art

This is two buildings now. The Sydney Modern Project opened a second one on 3 December 2022, close to doubling the exhibition space, and the Yiribana Gallery of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art moved into its ground floor. The buildings were named in the Sydney language only in April 2024, and the gallery joined the State Heritage Register only in November 2024.

Carnegie Hall's three auditoriums and which is which, Lincoln Center and its companies, the jazz basements that have been in the same buildings since the 1930s, and the comedy room where the advertised bill means nothing. Named venues limited to institutions with a long record, because New York nightlife listings rot faster than anything else about the city.

Jørn Utzon resigned in February 1966 and never returned to Australia, so the architect never saw the finished building — the 1999 re-engagement produced written design principles from Denmark, not a homecoming. The shells are tiled concrete rather than granite, the tiles are not self-cleaning, and 496 state lotteries paid the bill.

Rome's great park: eighty hectares of gardens, a lake with a temple on it, and the Galleria Borghese, the one museum in Rome you cannot visit on impulse.
