Rome  Set high on the Quirinal Hill, it&amp;#039;s worth visiting Scuderie del Quirinale for the 180-degree panoramic view of Rome alone. Escape the searing heat and lengthy queues of the main attractions to view the museum&amp;#039;s impressive Frida Kahlo exhibition, which features some of the artist&amp;#039;s most famous paintings, along with rare drawings and artefacts, including the plaster corset in which she was famously encased during her long years of illness. Frida Kahlo is on until 31 August at the Scuderie del Quirinale.  Santa Monica, CaliforniaIf you can drag yourself away from the golden beaches and blue skies, the Santa Monica Museum of Art has its own exploration of colour this summer. The Form of Color is an exhibition of Robert Swain&amp;#039;s latest works and comprises five huge paintings made entirely from blocks of solid colour, with no definite subject on which to focus. The idea is to explore colour as a language, seeing the way it changes and develops in relation to those around it and creating new associations with colour in its purest form. The Form of Color is on until 23 August at the Santa Monica Museum of Art  SingaporeSingapore&amp;#039;s heady mix of cutting-edge technology and historical culture makes it a brilliant art destination year-round, but those planning a visit this summer shouldn&amp;#039;t miss the Singapore International Festival of Arts.
