“Between hordes of scalpers and website outages, The Pokémon Company’s Van Gogh collab wound up being a big headache for collectors”
Yes, they had a Pokemon event at the actual Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.

Who would have thought Salvador Dalí could still get even *more* surreal?
A museum has (with permission from the Dalí Foundation) put together a life-size interactive video exhibit using deepfake editing, actors, real footage and audio from interviews to get his expressions right. As part of the interaction, he takes selfies with visitors, which you can have texted to you.

Urban Light at LACMA is a large square filled with over 200 lamp posts that the artist collected from various locations over several years, spaced wide enough to walk through comfortably. It’s like being in a forest of lamp posts — perfect for this week’s challenge.
The funny thing is, I wasn’t even planning on going there. We went to see the La Brea Tar Pits and Page Museum at the other end of the park. Oil has been seeping out of the ground for thousands of years, trapping animals and preserving their bones in an incredible collection of ice age fossils. But the parking lot on that side of the park was full, so we parked in the LACMA structure at the other end.
