Good morning. ☀️ Let's say you're museum-hopping in Los Angeles and looking for something to eat. What to do and where to go? We've got you covered with an essential guide to the city's major museum restaurants. I'm talking about menus that offer more than just overpriced avocado toast.

And as the World Cup in Qatar gets into full swing, a group of journalists released collectible FIFA cards commemorating migrant workers who lost their lives to the country's construction boom. There's that and a new report on restrictions on artists in African countries, a Ukrainian photographer whose show was canceled due to his alleged affiliation with neo-Nazi groups, and more.

On a lighter note: Actor Owen Wilson is playing a new character that seems to be based on the legendary painter Bob Ross. Now, that's a "happy accident."

Finally, we're happy to announce this year's recipients of Hyperallergic's journalism fellowship for curators, supported by the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation. Angelina Lippert, Kelli Morgan, Dakota Noot, Beya Othmani, and Sadaf Padder were selected from a large pool of strong applicants. We can't wait to share their work with you.
