The New Brooklyn Musem – “I Miss The Grandeur”

The new improved Brooklyn Museum is getting a lot of good press. But John Perreault isn’t so impressed. “Although the intention to make the entrance more welcoming is not all bad, I fear that looking like a ferry terminal in Scandinavia is not quite right. That glassed-in aquarium effect! Those tilted masts! True enough, the old entrance, consisting of stingy doors leading to the stygian lobby, was off-putting. We will now enter through the best party room in Brooklyn, but at the expense of grandeur.”
