Wright House, Wrong Place? Neighbors Battle Proposed FLW Museum
I think it’s a great idea and hope that it does get turned into a museum. The Robie house in Chicago is a museum, Kentuck Knob near Fallingwater is a museum. Frank Lloyd wright is a genius and am American icon!!! I hope something good come out of this.
This isn’t a political website per se. It’s about what’s going on in L.A. as a whole. This is relevant considering the upcoming construction of his museum here. It implies he’s going to have a very hands on approach to the construction of his museum. That’s informative, and I look forward to see his new museum come to fruition.
This museum was virtually invisible and sounded incredibly boring. The museum in Cleveland may be very popular, but it is not competing with very much else there. In New York, virtually no one knew or particularly cared that this museum existed. It will not be missed.
@doc: A lot of Piano’s work is great. I’d actually love to see the Klee Museum and the Padre Pio Church. But these rehashes of the boring High Museum addition – which looks more like a high-end shopping center than an art museum – do nothing for me.
I also find it odd that in the area of Yerba Buena Gardens, they label SFMOMA and the Cartoon Art Museum, but not the Museum of the African Diaspora or the Contemporary Jewish Museum. A bit of editorial bias there?
6th Street near the Miracle Mile is going on a 'road diet'
The Petersen Museum’s ‘turf’ IS NOT anywhere along 6th St., which is a block north of the Museum. This the writer very cleverly, ironically dropping the Museum’s name because they are an automotive museum. Very clever, and also wrong. Also super clever is that the Museum’s name is misspelled, it’s The Petersen Museum. Keep up the spectacular journalism.
Those are from the former shuttle between Hoyt-Schermerhorn and the old Court Street station, which is now the New York Transit Museum. Every once in a while, the Transit Museum organizes excursions on vintage subway material, and the trains leave the museum, use the former shuttle tracks, pass through Hoyt-Schermerhorn on the "ghost" tracks and continue on the A line!
MAD Architects, Studio Gang Tapped for Lucas Museum Design
The construction of the museum will be privately funded. The operation of the museum will be privately funded. The museum replaces an unsightly, large, asphalt parking lot that has no place on our beautiful lakefront. This is clearly a major win for Chicago, by any stretch of the imagination.
