 Once outside, take stock of the building not as a museum but as architecture. Where are those plain metal sheds now? Phifer has jettisoned the bombast that makes Meier's museums a little oppressive in their architectural magniloquence, but those forms that appeared so humble from the road are anything but. The smooth planes of glass and courtyard are framed by multilayered metal trim. Those silvery anodized aluminum panels that hang over the non-glass exterior walls—they are neither truly vertical nor do they follow a flat plane, giving an undulant quality to their reflectivity. Images move over them like meadow grass waving. Look up: the panels form a rippled upper edge, with the barrel vaults rising above like an even mountain range. Stand at the corner, look along the cladding: Bright strips of mirror catch and multiply fragments of art and landscape and viewer into limitless patterns. Look outward into the reflection: Beyond this highly cultured new temple lie 164 acres of art in the wild. It's the largest museum park in the country, now woven with trails that connect to the city, its rolling hills punctuated with many fine sculptures and design elements. From Chris Drury's "Cloud Chamber for Trees and Sky" to the Rodin Court, the park is ours to roam at any time. With the West Building catalyzing the park into a true art campus, it appears that we really are living in the state of the arts.

-The so-called "Rodin gallery (a little overfull—what a problem to have, too many Rodins) consists of some two dozen or more non-disclosed forgeries (after 1918).
-Auguste Rodin died in 1917.
-The dead don’t sculpt.

-Man, I can't believe I just spent the time to read all of that.
-I always thought the concept of original sculptures was kind of wonky. It's like the fast food of the art world. Pour some metal in the cast and get as many as you want!
-"it would allow museum patrons to give informed consent on whether they wish to attend an exhibit of reproductions, much less pay the price of admission"
-Good thing the museum is free so I don't have to spend my time fretting.
