About

    Everyone is talking about it. And I mean everyone.

    I’m not sure how I feel about this yet.  We are in unprecedented economic troubles, but there is something sad about the idea of a museum raiding it’s permanent collection and getting rid of things that they don’t need at the time.

    Of course, what’s the point of having the art if you can’t afford to run the place and keep the doors open?

    It is definitely a gray area.
