Endowments are good. But you can't really exhibit them and stuff.
You can buy just about any piece of artwork you want with that kind of $$.
There are paintings at Crystal Bridges which cost 30-40 million bucks a piece.
You can scoff if you like, but its one of the best visual art museums in the country, and has the funding to someday be the absolute best.

There are hallways in the Chicago Art Institute that would be rated ahead of this whole museum. Just stop.
I would suggest talking shop when you actually have a horse in the race.

Defined a state for over a hundred years
Sounds iconic

Those are both fine works and if you want to call them iconic I'm not going to argue that. But seriously. Walk into Boston's MFA and just walk through their Modern Art wing or the Impressionist hall at Chicago's art museum and you'll see famous painting hanging next to famous painting.
It is a stunning building and with that endowment will undoubtedly be something special sometime.

I'd suggest Arky posters quit making ridiculous claims that are simply indefensible. I realize that most Rant posters eyes glaze over when you make an art museum claim, but it was a ridiculous claim on its face.

oh my garsh! I really can't tell if this thread is serious or not,but thanks for the laughs. Apparently arky is on track to be the cultural center of art for the whole US!
Just a real quick reality check though - even broke azz Detroit's art collection is valued at close to $3bn

Arkansas. You'll have the chance to go to Missouri every other year.

You apparently think tenacity can substitute for facts. It cannot.

dont know and dont care, you obviously have missed the point. The fact is that claiming that arkansas' art museum is "world class" and "one of the best in the country" is ridiculous... nobody from outside Arkansas has ever traveled there to see Crystal Bridges...let alone internationally.
also, DIAF beaker scum

Come next year, Mizzou's a UGA win. Arky not so much. That help?
