Good morning. ☁️ Today, a new report lambasts the Queens Museum in New York City for mishandling sexual harassment allegations and bungling an artist residency focused on social justice. Our News Editor Valentina Di Liscia has the ins and outs of this story.

Also in New York, read our Editor-in-Chief Hrag Vartanian’s impressions of the new High Line commission, featuring a vibrant red and pink tree by artist Pamela Rosenkranz, and Elaine Velie’s report on a charming exhibition of vintage menus on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

Elsewhere, we look at how the armed conflict in Sudan is impacting museums and explain why critics are accusing the Turkish government of artwashing.

Finally, Mother’s Day is almost upon us and it’s time to make plans. If you’re a New Yorker, check out our list of fun and insightful art-related activities to enjoy with your dear mama on that day.
