Earlier this week, I wrote about my visit two weeks ago to the Dallas Museum of Art. I love the DMA for the quality of its collection, its exhibitions, the many friendships I’ve enjoyed with its staff and trustees, and, let’s face it, it’s in Texas. The museum beautifully expresses civic pride and culture.
The DMA’s big news is its launch of a two-stage global competition among architects for an expansion and “sweeping reinvention” at a cost of $150 million to $175 million, which means a starting point of $175 million, which means, and this doesn’t take a crystal ball, $225 million, but only if trustees stand athwart and shout “nada mas!”
