MoMA – Architecture That Disappears

Richard Dorment is thrilled by the new Museum of Modern Art. “Everything about the building radiates expensive reticence, conservative good taste. Externally, its sheer façade of subdued black granite, aluminum panels, and white and grey glass gives little hint of the wonders inside. But, when you step over the threshold, something extraordinary happens. Taniguchi’s serenely minimalist architecture draws you gently but inexorably forward with the promise of what I am tempted to call enlightenment.”
