I was interested to see the list of the best art museums selected by Art News which I missed when it appeared last month. It’s a version of what I was trying to do in my book The Art Museum in Modern Times: what museums give the best purely architectural experience ? And which work best for the art ? Not surprisingly, there’s a lot of overlap. The Pompidou, the Sainsbury Wing, the Yale Centre for British Art. They like the ones that are more purely architectural, including some which I did not know, like the Jan Schrem and Maria Manetti Schrem Museum of the University of California, David. My list of ones to visit grows longer.
