Art and the Artisan

I’ve never been to the new Museum of Modern Art in New York, but given this unfavorable comparison to the Tate Modern, which I have visited, I’m pretty sure I don’t want to.

Especially from this comment:

I haven’t spent much time in the Tate in the two years since the new MoMA opened. Moving through the London museum clarified how much it got right with its big building, no-frills design and cheap eats, despite its spotty collection.

The “cheap eats” must have been well-hidden (perhaps disguised as art), since where we ended up was distinctly uncheap (I seem to recall GBP 3 for a six ounce cup of Coke).

Or maybe I just don’t have an appreciation for museum food costs …
