Taubman museum of art
Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2011 7:31 amThere is a controversial art museum here in Roanoke. It's cool to me. I love the weirdo architecture. It's free on Thursdays. We took the girls tonight.

Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2011 12:09 pmI don't see what the controversy is all about. Pretty typical new-agey kind of architecture you'd expect in a museum. Then again, people flipped out over the Guggenheim.
I think I recognize one of the pieces, the one that looks like an inverted house.

It looks like the food court at one of the local shopping malls.

He's been slumming it since the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame there.

Not that it'd be hard to imitate pei... Just build a big glass pyramid. It's ALWAYS a good idea.

Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2011 7:15 pmis it controversial because we all paid for it?
I tend to be very ...traditionalist in terms of visual art.
I enjoy art that reflects the fine things in life(each to his own there I guess)
It's in keeping with my personality, for the most part.

Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2011 7:40 pmIt's controversial because of the design (Roanoke is a big Mayberry), because it went over budget, and because this is the nascar, budweiser south.

Well, what did they expect? An art museum in a barn? A giant outhouse?
