Sadly, this is the first exhibition to be curated at this museum by an African. Tervuren’s Royal Museum of Central Africa has a somewhat dubious past but times are changing and this could be the first step on a long road. The museum was built to celebrate Belgium’s colonial past but fewer people want to remember those bygone days and here contemporary artists bring the museum into the present day through themes such as globalisation and immigration.

Beccofino, one of Florence’s most desirable restaurants, has re-opened for lunch (dinner is served all year round) after a long winter break. The elegant terrace (which looks over the Arno to Palazzo Corsini and where wrought iron tables and chairs are set beneath white umbrellas) is a delightful spot. The Wine Bar menu offers a series of cold plates (cheeses and meats), salads, ‘crostoni’ (maybe topped with pears and melted gorgonzola or grilled aubergine and provolone), pastas or soups. The wine list is ample and there is a good choice of wines by the glass.

Elaine’s is the dinosaur of high-society restaurants, and even after all these years, it still pulls in an A-list crowd. The food, though respectable, isn’t what counts. What does is the outspoken proprietress, Elaine Kaufman, and a stellar cast of characters that on any given night might include Woody Allen, Barbra Streisand or George Plimpton.

What better way to spend Valentine’s Day than listening to the emotional guitar rock from Coldplay. Their American début ‘Parachutes’ has already received major critically acclaim in the UK and their brand of Travis-meets-Jeff Buckley music led them to be nominated for the Mercury Music Award. The quartet are bringing it all Stateside this week to plug their single ‘Yellow’, and they’re bound to win over the hearts of an LA audience.

AS Byatt’s ‘Possession,’ which won the Booker Prize, was a literary detective story that alternated between the present-day rivalries of a group of academics and a tragic love story set in the Victorian age. Byatt’s latest work, ‘The Biographer’s Tale’, carries on in this cerebral vein. A graduate student fed up with the uncertainties of post-modern theory craves the security of facts, so he decides to write a biography of a real person, Scholes Destry, himself a biographer of a Victorian bon vivant. Tonight, Byatt reads from her novel.

It’s America’s favorite pastime. It’s every boys’ favorite game. It’s one of the commonplaces of America. Which all make it one of the richest subjects in art. This exhibition features a collection of paintings, sculptures, prints, and memorabilia that trace the history of baseball. Kind of like Cooperstown comes to Philadelphia, this exhibition is a special tribute to the sport and all that it has inspired in all of us. Artists represented include Ben Shahn, Claes Oldenburg, John Martin, William Merrit Chase, and Robert Rauschenberg.

It may still be 20 degree Celsius, but that’s winter in Hong Kong. Australian artist Stephen Eastaugh must be finding it like a tropical heatwave since he spent much of last winter in Antaractica. He has gathered together paintings and drawings he made while living in sub-zero temperatures and created an exhibition charting his travels. The artist says the name ‘S.S.S.S.S.I.’ stands for ‘Site of Special Scenic, Scientific and Sacred Interest’.

This hugely successful musical moves from London’s West End across the Atlantic. Based on songs by megapopsters ABBA, it’s simultaneously a greatest hits concert and a coming-of-age story about a mother and daughter preparing for the daughter’s wedding. Original, comic and touching, it ingeniously weaves over 20 of the group’s best known songs like ‘Dancing Queen’, ‘The Winner Takes It All’, ‘Knowing Me, Knowing You’ and, of course, ‘Mamma Mia’ into award-winning British playwright Catherine Johnson’s funny and poignant script.
