Deja vu. Step into a world of beauty and decay from a time long gone. 'Empire' is the latest and greatest project to date for internationally renowned Australian artist Rone. This time, he immerses himself within a now derelict but once glorious art deco manor called Burnham Beeches in Sherbrooke, Australia.

A fascinating, weird and wacky script written by Salvador Dali in 1937 was too outlandish to film. But it will see the light of the day now in another form. From dwarfs to giraffes on fire, the story turned down by filmmakers MGM has come back to life in another incarnation.

No more big fat copy-cats, internet 'borrowers' or memes? It could all soon be a reality. That's after the European Union approved a controversial copyright bill following three years of intense debate and heavy lobbying. If made law it would give artists, musicians, authors and media companies more control over how internet giants like Google and Facebook make use of and distribute their material.

This instrument is so strange that you'll have to see it to believe it. The Theremin, named after it's inventor Leon Theremin, is the only instrument that you can play without ever touching it. Using a low-level electromagnet field, you merely have to wave your hands to make music, which sounds a little bit like a cello and looks a lot like magic.

At long last, the National Museum of Qatar is officially open, offering a spectacular window into the culture, heritage and history of the region. This sprawling complex - about the size of Heathrow airport's Terminal two - didn't come cheap, with an estimated price tag of nearly 450 million dollars, but when it comes to creating a hub for arts and culture, Qatar has pulled out all the stops. Showcase's Aadel Haleem was in Doha for the opening.
