The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is hosting an exhibition that explores how the work and studio of Walt Disney (1901-1966) were inspired by the European decorative arts, reported the German news agency.

According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET), this is the first animation exhibition in the history of the museum, featuring classic watches, textiles, embroidered fabrics, and furniture.

Met director Max Hollein said: “Disney’s animations and Rococo’s decorative arts are rich in funny stories, joy, and wonder.”

Running until March 6, 2022, the exhibition “Inspiring Walt Disney: The Animation of French Decorative Arts,” features 150 Disney animations and productions works with over 60 pieces of European decorative art from the past centuries like furniture and teapots.

The exhibition celebrates classics including Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Beauty and the Beast.

Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone will headline 2025's Coachella music and arts festival, organizers said Wednesday, while Travis Scott will play a special guest slot.

Missy Elliott, Charli XCX and Megan Thee Stallion will also feature at the major event in the California desert that kicks off the music festival circuit, AFP reported.

Coachella takes place over two three-day weekends in the spring, this year April 11-13 and 18-20.

The line-up reveal came months earlier than usual, one day after Post Malone slipped in his own tour schedule release that he'd be playing concerts during the anticipated festival dates in Indio.

Scott's performance will come four years after he was slated to headline the 2020 festival, which was ultimately scrapped due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

South Africa's Tyla will perform at the 2025 edition after pulling out last year due to an injury.

Other acts of interest include famed conductor Gustavo Dudamel along with the LA Philharmonic, along with a return to the desert for Brazil's Anitta and electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk.

Last year's festival was headlined by Lana Del Rey, Doja Cat and Tyler, the Creator. It also featured a special reunion performance from No Doubt.

Taylor Swift was also an overwhelming presence at the grounds flanked by the San Jacinto Mountains in 2024 -- although as a spectator, not a performer.
