The Brooklyn Museum unveiled its new entranceway over the weekend. This could become a great public space, but it would have more of a chance if there were other things (restaurants, a movie theater, shopping) to bring people to the area. Like much about the Brooklyn Museum, it feels slightly shabby and slightly unfinished.

 

Meanwhile, over at Prospect Park, people really seem to be getting into this spring thing.

You're right about the BMA ... I noticed particularly that the bricks in the eastern corner on the top of the little promenade were uneven ... shoddy is precisely the word.

And then, when walking inside through the exposed brick, the vestibule is massive ... but just bland and white. It's a shame, ... a lot of it has to do with an utter lack of funding.
