I always wondered why the exhibits were in the basement and often I would speak to people who didn't even know that the basement housed an exhibit.Vanessa Hearthttp://www.vanessaheart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918701238841683192.post-12451687594955081562010-04-15T08:28:38.064-06:002010-04-15T08:28:38.064-06:00I'm curious why the executive director of the ...I'm curious why the executive director of the museum was slagging the building off right after it was completed- did he not have any say in the design? I'm sure the current director was involved in the design of the new building at every step of the process. For someone who should be cheerleading the museum, his comments must have been very demoralizing.<br /><br />Anyway, despite the apparent hatred of this building, I don't think it's that bad. Certainly not the worst building put up during the 70s. Many of the 70s skyscrapers downtown are getting reclad in new facades, in much the same way a lot of Victorian buildings (e.g., Fontius) got covered over in the 50s. I wonder if our current "modernizing" work will seem as clumsy in another 50 years.Scott Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00325069932085391793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918701238841683192.post-37779610787422337722010-04-14T23:24:53.169-06:002010-04-14T23:24:53.169-06:00Thank you Shawn for keeping us posted on the museu...Thank you Shawn for keeping us posted on the museum.Jeff Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680146273701688630noreply@blogger.com
