NEW YORK (Reuters) - A major new photography exhibit is built around the idea that the eyes are just as important as the ears for appreciating and understanding rock 'n' roll.

The Brooklyn Museum's sprawling show "Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present" opened on Friday as a study in the contrasts that run through the rock music subculture.

This museum and pioneer village traces life as it has been lived in this area for more than 9,000 years.

Touring the museum, one marvels at the ingenuity of the Native Americans. Visitors learn, for example, that 5,000 years ago they practiced a form of brain surgery using fermented herbs similar to penicillin. No less impressive are the tiny beads carefully drilled with primitive stone tools, the basketry, and the fine leather and feather work.

An exhibition that shows the techniques Vincent van Gogh used to paint his famous nocturnal scenes has opened at New York's Museum of Modern Art.

van Gogh and the Colours of the Night features 23 paintings, including The Starry Night.

It studies how the Dutch master figured out how to paint by moonlight and the colouring techniques he invented to replicate the night sky on canvas.
