The only emails that find me well are the weekly newsletter by @anafota4 🌸 As she describes it, “this is for art lovers who will enjoy going to the opera once in a while, but might also be caught falling asleep during the third act.” Subscribe here: https://t.co/OkjHgJZ4b3

The National Bank of Belgium has opened a new exhibit. It combines paintings by employees with pieces from its contemporary art collection — which the public at large rarely gets to see. Here's my story👇 https://t.co/TgnwpuFMwD

The world's big banks all own private art collections, usually kept in storage or for employees' eyes only. Through a new exhibit, you get a rare chance to see a good chunk of the National Bank of Belgium's contemporary art collection. My story 👇 https://t.co/TgnwpuFeH5
