With 2013 winding down, we're impatiently looking ahead. Here are the cultural events, ideas and objects that are set to make 2014 (and the festive season) a truly special one.
Europe
The fight for Hungary's skies, a high-rise revolution in Austria and election watch in Georgia, plus Sweden's integration minister talks about life after the Stockholm riots.
Big Shot

The dream team
