Some of the aircraft on show at the superb Dumfries & Galloway Aviation Museum. The museum occupies the control tower and surrounding area of what was once RAF Dumfries, two miles north-east of the centre of Dumfries.

One of my favorite museums in the world is the Villa Giulia in Rome. It houses the National Etruscan Museum. It falls outside most quick tour routes, and it is a lovely, peaceful, elegant museum with a very rich collection.
See the pretty vases below, with various mythological scenes :) Recongize them?
One of my favorite museums is The Ringling Museum of Art in Florida. This photo shows one of the fountains in the museum's central courtyard, which displays recreations of notable statues from the Classical, Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical periods. #MythologyMonday

Another day, another unflattering portrait of a public figure, and this time, the Streisand effect is in play too. TIME magazine reports on Australia's wealthiest person, Gina Rinehart, and her attempts to get a painting of her removed from the National Gallery of Australia. The portrait by Vincent Namatjira, an Aboriginal Australian artist, is part of a series in which he uses humor and exaggerated features to portray the rich. “People don’t have to like my paintings, but I hope they take the time to look and think, ‘why has this Aboriginal bloke painted these powerful people? What is he trying to say?’” he said in a statement shared with TIME. The gallery, to which Rinehart is a donor, is not backing down, saying it “welcomes the public having a dialogue on our collection and displays.”
