Art palace is right fit with Phila. | Inquirer | 09/02/2007
"In the Art Museum's new Ruth and Raymond G. Perelman Building, Philadelphia has at last acquired a modern civic building that is a true Philadelphian. *** Richard Gluckman's conversion of an opulent Roaring '20s office building into a safe house for the Philadelphia Museum of Art's most fragile collections reflects this town's essential verities: its commitment to craft over splash, substance over surface, and architecture with a strong work ethic."
And some day the Barnes Foundation will join it down the street and finally giving the Parkway a boulevard that one should want to stroll.
