The Barnes Foundation, Long Silent, Speaks

I would make the new Barnes Foundation exactly twice as large as the original, and then distribute the artwork on each wall proportionally to the new dimensions. That, or shrink each visitor to exactly half their size before they enter the galleries.
If there's one thing I can't stand it's crowds in museums.
Oh, and the empty original Barnes Foundation would make a great new contemporary art museum.
"The more things change, the more they stay the same."
I've been working on my own design of the new Barnes Foundation, but that's a whole other "institutional critique" story.
