Pop goes…
Exceeding his own 15-minute
rule by quite some time, Andy
Warhol’s brightly coloured
screen prints – from Marilyn
to Mao – remain some
of the most recognisable
works of any artist. Which
is exactly why his Early
Drawings – a new exhibition
of his first forays into art –
is so fascinating. Head to
Copenhagen’s Louisiana
Gallery to see 250 of these
sketches on show for the
very first time. louisiana.dk
All month
Strings attached
They may be staged using
puppets, but there’s
nothing wooden about
the performances of
Don
Giovanni
that take place in
Prague every year during
January. Mozart
loved the city, and
seeing his titular
character – strings
and all – dragged to
hell at the National
Marionette Theatre
is surprisingly moving.

A 2,000-year-
old computer?
The Antikythera
shipwreck, found
by sponge-divers
and explored by
Jacques Cousteau
in the 1950s,
yielded one of the
most intriguing
finds in archaeology – and surely the ultimate answer in a geek
pub quiz. Described as “the world’s first analogue computer”, the
remnants of the mysterious Antikythera mechanism – which date
from as early as the 1st century BC – are currently on show at the
National Archaeological Museum in Athens, alongside all 300
artefacts recovered in the two-stage underwater archaeological
excavation of the shipwreck. namuseum.gr
