Translation:El arte no va a morir nunca.

If you use nunca early in sentence, you dont need the "no". El arte nunca va a morir.
Perhaps I'm wrong. Someone please tell me. To me, Duo's translation would more accurately be translated as, Art isn't ever going to die. I think a better translation would be, El arte nunca va a morir. Is this wrong?

"Nunca" will always be immediately before or immediatly after the verb phrase, not before the subject
Nunca does mean never - and it is used at the end of the sentence - El arte no va a morir nunca.
I am so confused, why is morir used and not the conjugated version muere?
We actually do the same thing in English. The third person conjugation of to die is dies with the 's' on the end. So we say "he dies" (Él muere) but when we use it in conjunction with "going to" (Ir a) we don't conjugate it. "He is going to die." (Él va a morir) It's harder to pick out because we don't conjugate as much as Spanish does, but it's the same thing. Same with other examples like "She sings" versus "She can sing" (Ella canta/Ella puede cantar)
In other words "va a muere" is equivalent to "going to dies".

pambjorlo- with the verb IR a, the second verb is always infinitive, yo voy a comer, (to eat) él va a cantar, (to sing)
I have always believed that the word 'nunca' comes before a verb ...never knew it'd be at the end of the sentence
