The new JFK terminal will show iconic artworks from MoMA, the Met and Lincoln Center
Think of it as an express tour of New York's arts scene without ever leaving baggage claim. The Met's display will span 5,000 years, from the medieval Unicorn Tapestry at The Cloisters to couture from the Costume Institute. MoMA is teaming up with Yoko Ono for a new iteration of her PEACE is POWER installation, inviting travelers to pause between passport control and the taxi line to engage with her urgent, hopeful message. Lincoln Center will greet visitors with a sweeping 140-foot mural that stitches together scenes from its stages and city streets, celebrating the performing arts as part of New York's DNA.
The American Museum of Natural History, meanwhile, will swap dioramas for high-resolution drama—images of its star attractions like the towering T. rex, the Rapa Nui figure from Easter Island and the Hall of North American Mammals. The effect is equal parts prehistoric, monumental and majestic.
And that's just the institutional lineup. The terminal's broader art program, led in collaboration with the Public Art Fund, will include 19 major site-specific works plus rotating exhibitions from Queens-based artists via the Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning. The goal is to bottle the city's creative energy and hand it to travelers the moment they land.
'Terminal 6 will offer arriving visitors from around the world a unique New York experience before they leave the terminal,' said Rick Cotton, the executive director of the Port Authority.
Art isn't the only upgrade on offer. Terminal 6 will add 10 larger gates, new lounges, a longer departures curb and upgraded TSA and baggage systems. The first six gates are slated to open in 2026, with the rest by 2028, housing both domestic and international carriers like JetBlue and Lufthansa. Before you've even hailed your cab, you'll have brushed shoulders—metaphorically—with a few dinosaurs, couture legends and a 140-foot slice of Broadway. Welcome to New York!

Beloved soap returns after 22 years off-screen in historic crossover with Hollyoaks to celebrate major milestone
The cast members of the soap have gone on to forge successful careers for themselves WELCOME RETURN Beloved soap returns after 22 years off-screen in historic crossover with Hollyoaks to celebrate major milestone Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BELOVED soap is returning after 22 years off-screen, in a historic crossover with Hollyoaks. Hollyoaks celebrates its 30th anniversary in October, and to make the milestone Brookside will be returning too. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 A beloved soap is returning after 22 years off-screen, in a historic crossover with Hollyoaks Credit: C4 4 Anthony was played by X Fact or star Ray Quinn Credit: Channel 4 Since the soap came to an end in November 2003, the cast members have gone on to forge successful careers for themselves. Now, fans will be pleased to here that it'll be back on screens in a special Hollyoaks episode that will honour the predecessor. Hollyoaks took over as Channel 4's flagship continuing drama when the Liverpool-based soap ended on November 4th 2003. And as part of the exciting crossover, fans will see Brookside characters make a return as a treat to mark the milestone. Executive Producer Hannah Cheers said: 'This episode is a love letter to both Hollyoaks and Brookside. 'Brookside gave birth to Hollyoaks — it grew up on the same site and eventually took over its sets. 'For everyone at Lime Pictures (originally Mersey TV), Hollyoaks' history is deeply rooted in Brookside, and its legacy lives on through our crew and, of course, some of our cast. 'This special feels like both a moving and fitting tribute to our origin story and a chance for fans to revisit much-loved Brookside characters in honour of that legacy. 'These iconic Brookside characters are soap archetypes that helped define British TV; soap archetypes that new generations are still discovering now through Hollyoaks. As a lifelong soap fan who grew up watching with my mum, I was passionate about revisiting Brookside for the anniversary. With Sir Phil's blessing — after I had the privilege of pitching the idea to him — and the support of Channel 4, we're able to make it happen. Brookside actress, 53, unrecognisable 28 years after controversial incest plot that shocked Britain 'Writer Steve Hughes, who began his career on Brookside, has reimagined where these characters are more than twenty years on. We hope audiences will enjoy welcoming these old friends back into their homes once again.' Brookside, which first aired in November 1982, gave us TV's first pre-watershed lesbian kiss and kickstarted the careers of some of the nation's best-loved stars including Anna Friel and Sue Johnston. The Channel 4 soap was set in Liverpool and filmed on an actual close built especially for the show. Aside from that kiss between Beth Jordache and Margaret Clemence, it had some iconic storylines before it came to an end in November 2003 - including the incestuous love affair between brother and sister Nat and Georgia Simpson. Sir Phil said: 'It is always bitter sweet thinking back to Brookie, the reminders of its success and impact, but the thoughts of many, like Dean Sullivan and Bill Dean, who are no longer with us. 'But it is great that Lime Pictures are paying homage in their Hollyoaks anniversary cross over episodes. 'I can't wait to see how all the gardens are coping in the heatwave and, who knows, what might pop up if someone decides to re-lay their patio. I know we left something else down there.' The filming for the exciting episode will take place next month in September, and it's set to be the first time that Brookside Close has been on air, since it ended in with Jimmy Corkhill daubing a 'd' onto the sign, leaving it as 'Brookside Closed' before driving out of the cul-de-sac. 4 The cast members of the soap have gone on to forge successful careers for themselves Credit: Channel 4

Brookside cast now - heartbreaking death, cancer battle and major X-Factor success
Brookside was the gritty soap that shocked the nation, smashed taboos, and made suburban cul-de-sacs the stage for explosive drama. But what happened to the cast? Brookside, the groundbreaking soap that shocked the nation and turned ordinary suburban streets into a hotbed of drama, was a staple of British television for over two decades. The show, which first aired on Channel 4 on 2 November 1982, followed the everyday lives of its characters, dealing with everything from heart-wrenching break-ups to shocking crimes that reflected real issues in the UK. The Liverpool-based soap ran for an impressive 21 years before its final episode aired on 4 November 2003. Created by Phil Redmond, Brookside was never one to shy away from controversial topics - it was responsible for the UK's first pre-watershed lesbian kiss and tackled subjects such as domestic abuse, incest, and even a body buried under a patio. Now, the beloved soap is poised for a comeback – featuring in an unprecedented crossover with Hollyoaks. After Brookside concluded on November 4th 2003, Hollyoaks stepped up as Channel 4 's premier continuing drama. The show began production on a portion of Brookside's former set, which remains its filming location to this day. As Hollyoaks gears up to celebrate its 30th anniversary this October, it plans to commemorate the occasion with a special episode that pays homage to both Brookside and their shared creator, Sir Phil Redmond. The upcoming crossover episode will delight viewers with the reappearance of beloved, classic Brookside characters to celebrate this significant event. But what became of the Brookside cast once the cameras stopped rolling? From heartbreaking losses to surprising career changes, here's a look at where some of the show's biggest stars ended up. Dean Sullivan (Jimmy Corkhill) Jimmy, a troubled drug addict turned teacher, was one of Brookside's longest-serving characters. Portrayed by Dean Sullivan, he joined the series in 1986 and was involved in many major storylines. Tragically, Dean passed away in 2023 at the age of 68 after a battle with prostate cancer, a diagnosis he had bravely shared just months before his death. He had been diagnosed in 2018 and had been receiving treatment. Following his passing, fans and former co-stars paid their respects. Sue Jenkins (Jackie Corkhill) Jackie Corkhill, played by Sue Jenkins, was the long-suffering wife of Jimmy Corkhill, enduring his emotional turmoil and schemes in many of the show's most gripping storylines. Since the end of the show, Sue has continued her acting career with roles in Coronation Street, Holby City, and Doctors, as well as theatre productions. Now 66, she is a vocal advocate for arts education and is married to David Fleeshman, with whom she has three children, Richard, Emily and Rosie. Anna Friel (Beth Jordache) Beth Jordache, portrayed by Anna Friel, became a cultural icon when she was involved in the first pre-watershed lesbian kiss on British television, a storyline that made international headlines. The episode aired in January 1994, also featuring Margaret Clemence, played by Nicola Stephenson. Anna has since built a highly successful acting career on both sides of the Atlantic, starring in shows like Pushing Daisies, Marcella, and The Girlfriend Experience. Now 48, she is an award-winning actress and a regular on the red carpet. She has been married twice and has one child. Claire Sweeney (Lindsey Corkhill) Claire Sweeney played Lindsey Corkhill, a member of the troubled Corkhill family, who found herself caught up in love triangles, dodgy dealings, and emotional confrontations. Lindsey started as a recurring character before being promoted to the regular cast in 1995. Actress Claire shot to fame following Brookside, transitioning into musical theatre, releasing an album, and becoming a Loose Women panellist. She has recently made a comeback to the soap world with a stint on Coronation Street. Earlier this year, Claire delighted Brookside enthusiasts as she returned to the West Derby houses where the programme was originally filmed. The 53-year-old shared numerous photographs and videos on Instagram from her impromptu nostalgic journey. In her Instagram video, Claire revealed to followers that whilst she had visited the location the previous year, she had spotted a "beautiful little surprise" beneath the Brookside sign commemorating Dean Sullivan, who portrayed her on-screen father Jimmy. Michael Starke (Sinbad Sweeney) Sinbad Sweeney was a window cleaner with a heart of gold. He became a viewer favourite after joining the programme in 1984. Actor Michael Starke subsequently featured in The Royal, Coronation Street, and even enjoyed a role in Benidorm. He has also established himself as a pantomime regular and serves as a dedicated ambassador for Liverpool's cultural scene. Now 67, his latest role saw him portray a taxi driver in Hollyoaks from 2021 to 2023. Jennifer Ellison (Emily Shadwick) Emily's storyline concluded in devastating fashion, with her character's tragic plunge from a window ranking among Brookside's most shocking departures. Actress Jennifer switched gears to pop music, reality TV (Dancing on Ice, Hell's Kitchen), and theatre, before launching her own dance academy in Liverpool. She also starred in the West End and now leads a quieter life centred around family. She is married to Rob Tickle and they have three children. Louis Emerick (Mick Johnson) Mick Johnson was the straight-talking single dad and mini-mart owner with a strong moral compass. He made his final appearance on 22 August 2001, having first appeared in 1989. Actor Louis Emerick, 64, has continued his acting career in TV dramas and soaps, including Coronation Street and Doctors, and has performed in theatre tours across the UK. Where are the others? Several cast members left the industry altogether - some moved abroad, others stepped away from the limelight. A few, like Ray Quinn (who briefly appeared in the later years), reinvented themselves entirely. Ray went on to become a singer and X Factor finalist, with a stage career.

Olly Murs' wife 'lonely' after 'brutal' birth amid 'fear of losing who you are'
EXCLUSIVE: Singer Olly Murs and his wife Amelia are expecting their second baby and have opened up becoming parents and their struggle after Amelia's first difficult birth With an energetic 16-month-old and another baby on the way, Olly and Amelia Murs are the perfect fit as the new faces of The Parent Hood, M&S 's club for mums and dads. One of the fastest growing baby clubs in the UK, it is part of the high street chain's loyalty scheme, Sparks, and encourages young parents to meet up in M&S cafés to swap experiences over a cuppa and free slice of cake. It's a hectic time for Essex-based Olly, 41, and Amelia, 32. The pair, who married two years ago, have their hands full with toddler Madison, who appears with them in the Parent Hood campaign. Outside of daddy duties, singer Olly has just finished his latest tour and he is still presenting his Heart FM weekend radio show alongside fellow M&S ambassador Mark Wright. With fitness enthusiast Amelia due to give birth imminently, OK! caught up with the couple to discuss all the highs and lows of parenting… Hi guys. Congrats on your role as The Parent Hood ambassadors. It seems a great match… Amelia: Yeah, I feel like everything has aligned at the right time. We're so proud to be part of this as a family. Olly: The fact we could do the photo shoot with Madi and the bump was really special. M&S is an amazing brand and part of British culture, and hopefully we can inspire more parents to go to the clubs. It began with you going to the club, didn't it Amelia? Yes, I've been a member almost since it formed. It can be quite lonely as a mum, but this gives you a sense of community, and a reason to go out. There's so much parents don't know, but you can learn about everything from weaning recipes to what kind of nursing bra to buy. Olly: It's lovely that mums can go and just have a chat. You know, 'Am I doing it right?', 'This happened today', 'Oh, my god, I did the same thing.' It gives you a bit of reassurance that everyone's going through the same thing. Are you both keen to be honest about the challenges of parenting? Amelia: I've tried to be a bit more open recently, especially while Olly's been away. Olly: There's no point being all happy and Instagrammy and, 'It's all amazing.' I'm very honest. Being parents is unbelievable, but at the same time it's extremely hard. Being pregnant, Amelia hasn't been able to go the gym much, which is her hobby. You don't want to lose who you are, so it's about finding a balance. What advice have you given your mate Mark Wright about his and Michelle Keegan's baby girl Palma? Olly: People said to me, 'Olly, enjoy the first four months. They're the best time.' And I was like, 'What?' When Madison came it didn't feel like that. I told Wrighty that and he took it on board. I've been saying, 'Enjoy your trip to Majorca, because, trust me, when Palma is crawling or walking in a few months, that's a whole other level.' I also warned him about the weaning stage. You think they're choking and your wife's like, 'It's fine – she's just got to learn how to use her mouth.' What's it called? The gag reflex. I'm like, 'Babe, I can't. I'm off to sit in the other room.' Do you think Palma and Madison will grow up as friends? Olly: I hope so, being around the same age. And with us being parents at the same time, it's going to be special. We haven't had time to make it work because our schedules are so mad, but we will when things calm down. Wrighty and I have already spoken about going on holiday and just being together, which will be fun. We've got such a good friendship, and I really want Michelle and Amelia to meet properly. I'm sure they'll have loads in common. How's Madison doing? Olly: A few weeks ago, she was the best I've ever seen her. For two weeks, she ate everything Amelia gave her. But for the last three or four days, it's been, 'Nope, don't like that.' It's the same food as last week! What's going on? She's babbling away now. It sounds like she's speaking French or German. Which one of you is she most like? Amelia: She's very like Olly in that she loves an audience and is very extrovert. But she's also quite independent and if we're trying to feed her she's like, 'I'm doing that myself' – with spaghetti going everywhere. Olly: Me and Amelia can both be very stubborn. She's definitely got that part of us. Who's the best nappy-changer? Olly: We have two different styles. Amelia's very precise and it's a real experience. Madi's got her toys and she's all calm. Me, I'm like an F1 pit-stopper, I just get it done quickly. Do you think you'll be a strict dad when Madison is older? Yeah, because that's how my parents were with me. I think discipline and respect are important. I don't want her to have any self-entitlement or to feel like she deserves anything more than anyone else. I want to her to be grounded. Are you managing to squeeze in some date nights ahead of Baby No.2? Olly: We were meant to go to Wimbledon, but it was 36 degrees, so we didn't think it was a good idea. Amelia: We're dropping Madi off to Olly's mum later so we can do some clearing out. Does that count? With another baby due, there must be lots of different emotions… Amelia: It changes week by week as I get closer to having the baby. We can't wait to meet who's in there and see Madi with a sibling. But I get a bit overwhelmed when I think of having two under two. Olly: We know we can do it and it's going to be fine. The most important thing is that the baby is healthy. Did you have an unplanned C-section last time? Amelia: We were planning a natural birth, but Madi was in a precarious position. She was transverse [sideways] so we didn't have an option. The recovery was brutal and I wish people had been more honest about that. Maybe it's because I'm active, but I didn't realise how much I wouldn't be able to do afterwards. You've chosen not to find out the sex, but do you have a hunch? Amelia: It's hard to tell, because I was convinced Madi was a boy. But I do think this one is a boy. Olly: Obviously, that'd be cool, but I'm swaying more to thinking it's a girl. I'd love that, I genuinely would. Have you planned this birth yet? Olly: We're reaching the point where we have to make decisions. But this feels like a different pregnancy. Amelia: We know that this baby's not transverse, which is good. Olly: We're very excited and announcing this thing with M&S has made it much more real. Two or three more weeks and we're gonna be right back at it!
