An exhibition at San Francisco's Asian Art Museum points to a burgeoning trend: museums are engaging the public more openly around efforts to repatriate artifacts looted from other countries.

Part of the Into the "Whoniverse" panel series accompanying the Comic-Con Museum's current exhibit "Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder: Where Science Meets Fiction." Free with museum admission. Panel description: Everyone loves a bad guy, so let’s focus on the various villains seen in Doctor Who and how the good doctor dealt with them. From the Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans, Silurians, and Weeping Angels, the doctor uses his intellect, clever strategies, TARDIS technology, and his understanding of time and space to outsmart his enemies and exploit their weaknesses instead of using brute force. Panel experts will detail these events and how the doctor overcame and defeated these villains. Comic-Con Museum on Facebook / Instagram

Ted Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, spent his life pushing open the doors of conventional thought, ushering in new directions and ideas, and always looking “through the wrong end of the telescope.” His wife, Audrey, continued that vision as she guided Ted’s legacy across the nearly 30 years following his passing. Such stewardship included the formation of The Art of Dr. Seuss Collection, allowing the world its first chance to see images Ted had made privately yet never shared with the general public. The works included in this exhibition are not only an inspired tribute to Ted and Audrey’s vision, but to those of us who also believe life is better when viewed through the wrong end of the telescope. In homage to this unique perspective, select works in this exhibition include rare examples signed by Audrey Geisel. "25 Year s Through The Wrong End of The Telescope" offers a rare glimpse into the artistic life of this celebrated American icon and chronicles almost seven decades of work that, in every respect, is uniquely, stylistically, and endearingly Seussian.
