Since our visit, the advent of gps systems has taken some of the adventure out of finding the place, but organizing the time and visit still requires a positive effort on the part of the would-be viewer. We really enjoyed this museum and I very much respect the wishes of its creator, but I am less adamant than you about its ultimate fate. <br />Dr. Barnes theories and educational purposes aside, it is very difficult to really see some of the works because of the crowding and placement. Many works are well above eye level and placed to illustrate some point of historical or theoretical interest at the expense of viewing the work.<br />I hope that the caretakers of this wonderful collection find a way to display it so that the paintings can be seen in all their glory while still preserving Dr. Barnes perspective on their relationships.<br />I'll look forward to seeing the film.dbpreskillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311098759870391148noreply@blogger.com
