What if witty cultural commentators reviewed museums the way they do music and restaurants? If Anthony Lane turned his cutting tongue from movies to museums?

There were also the people whose idea of forecasting the future and budgeting was basically storytelling and conjuring. Seeing the negative, voicing the reasons for such issues, and then finding solutions are all really hard to do. They wouldn’t speak negativity because they didn’t want to take sides, say.
