The Artist Who Turned Dublin's Pubs Into...

February 20, 2025

There’s a good chance you have never heard of Harry Kernoff. But if you have enjoyed a pint in Dublin’s oldest pubs, there’s also a good chance you have seen his artwork. Born in London to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents, Harry Kernoff moved to Ireland with his family in 1914.

Şengüloğlu Baklava in Berlin, Germany

February 20, 2025

A historic melting pot, the small city has been inhabited by the Hittites, Assyrians, Persians, and Romans, among other civilizations. Few international tourists make it over to the westernmost part of the southern region of Anatolia. Luckily, some of Gaziantep’s best-known pastries can be found far beyond the city.

Millennium Camera in Tempe, Arizona

February 20, 2025

While the ASU Art Museum primarily contains temporary exhibits, one of them is expected to remain there until the year 3015.

Hailes Quarry Hermit in Edinburgh, Scotland

February 20, 2025

Should one happen upon a detached head in a public space, it would raise concerns and cause alarm.

‘The Container’ in Brussels, Belgium

February 20, 2025

Brussels is a fascinating city, both elegant and humorous, associated with comic strips and surreal art (as is Belgium itself). It’s home to many pieces of public art, and some are undeniably unusual, to put it simply.
