What happened to this place? Half the paintings have no titles or explanations. Only a few Impressionist paintings out while abstract all over the place. Other changes for the worse.

"Modern art" has happened. No titles, explanations, anything. Just a painting on a wall and you're supposed to judge it on your own. It's "abstract" and "imaginative". So you're supposed to stare at that picture of a potato for 5 mins and come up with your own explanation

For whatever it's worth, the building itself is still beautiful. But I do agree some of the art was questionable at best last time I went.

The only time I even think about going there is when they have a traveling exhibition that interests me.

I think it's the liberal agenda, just getting crushed under it's own volume of stupidity...imploding.

At first glance I read this as "titties" and upvoted for the lack of titties in the museum.

Got busted skipping High School in line for the exhibit and Channel 6 showed up and interviewed me & my gf.

My 60 year-old English teacher was watching in the Teacher's Lounge but she never told on me.

I was a cunning linguist later in the day at the Lakefront. So I guess that ties in with....

I used to go there often. I mostly hung around the Dutch and other old Europe paintings. Modern art is such junk.
