Expanding Museums
Oh my - go look at the pictures of the expansion of the Morgan Library by Renzo Piano. It reopens late this month. I'm planning to go with a friend this summer (whether we get a little grant for it or not!).
Piano is one of the architects who makes Modern work, especially (I suppose, because I've never been inside anything else he's done) museums.
While they were closed the Morgan folks got their online research tools into great shape -- Corsair has to be one of the best portals to a fixed collection I've ever used. Admittedly, Corsair focuses on a field I know reasonably well and a collection I know a little bit about, but the design is clean and effective. Medievalists should give it a try!
