1.  Museums and ‘starchitecture’ has lead to accusations that the building's form and facade often overwhelm the objects exhibited within. 
Do you believe this to be the case and, if so, how does this form of spectacular museum architecture impact on the viewing/functional needs of museums designed under these circumstances?

2. Why are cities looking to open up branches of internationally renowned art museums - especially at such expense? ]]> 2020-05-03 05:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS90005_wk8_museumsandglobaln_tues12pm_sem/wish/546272130 GROUP 1 walker_g https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS90005_wk8_museumsandglobaln_tues12pm_sem/wish/546272131 Museums and cultural/urban renovation
