The earliest surviving photographs of Greece, Egypt, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria and Jerusalem, taken in the mid-19th century, will remain on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York until May 12.

The Louvre, the world's most visited museum, broke all ticket office records last year with more than 10 million people viewing its Paris collection of fine arts and antiquities, boosted by foreign tourists and the interest in Beyoncé and Jay-Z's music video filmed there, reported the Guardian.

A bronze portrait of American heiress and political activist Nancy Cunard sculpted by Romanian-born French artist Constantin Brancusi went under the hammer on Tuesday at Christie's in New York, and was sold for 71 million dollars.
