  • The New York Metropolitan Museum of Art's American Wing reopened on Tuesday after a two-year renovation. The renovation includes new glass barriers and a mezzanine with some 3,000 feet of additional space.

  • Obsessed with your four-legged friends? If you do, then check out Pet Airways, the first U.S. carrier featuring cats and dogs as the only, um, "paw-sengers." The airline aims to alleviate the worries of pet owners who don't want to put their pets in cargo. Animals on each Pet Airways flight are checked on by flight attendants every 15 minutes for bathroom breaks. Tickets are expected to start at $150 each way.

  • Live abroad? You're more creative, according to a recent study by INSEAD and the Kellogg School of Management. The report's authors found that living in foreign countries makes people more creative, although they couldn't give a specific reason why.

  • Get your moustache on: Today kicks off the World Beard and Moustache Championship in Anchorage, Alaska. Over 200 men from 12 countries will face-off (pun intended) to see who's got the best beard in one of 18 categories (from moustache, to full beard to freestyle).
