"Astarte Syriaca"

European art galleries are preparing for a bumper crop of openings for the autumn season. After the London Olympics and big-name shows to accompany the games, museum directors are determined to continue with events that boost visitor numbers.

The U.K. Royal Academy celebrates artworks in bronze; Tate Britain shows Pre-Raphaelites; the London National Gallery explores photography. In Paris, the Louvre shows Raphael masterpieces.
