I think this may have been a dodged bullet. Regardless of how one feels about the rendering….the museum’s capacity to maintain ownership of the building (and thus the public access spaces they used as part of getting it approved) was a real question mark. Longstanding board members of the museum resigned due to a lack of transparency and space for discourse in the process. It’s a great little museum but I’m not so sure all those train tourists from NYC were going to come in droves when so many museums exist down there…nor am I sure they could effectively compete with Mass MoCA.
