I appreciate your comprehensive article about Portland Museum of Art’s proposed expansion, necessitating demolition of a designated, historic building. PMA, led by at least one elite earning an astronomical salary (despite a “voluntary” reduction), has lost its way.
Museums exist to preserve primarily, in turn, to serve the populace. The proposed addition preserves nothing, serves nothing, for anyone. I would rather see PMA dismantle the soulless I.M. Pei edifice (certainly not the Smithsonian’s East Wing!) before embarking upon expansion.
