Museums
[size=3][color=#29384e][font=Times New Roman]From Boston to Los Angeles[/font][font=宋体]，[/font][font=Times New Roman] from New York City to Chicago to Dallas[/font][font=宋体]，[/font][font=Times New Roman] museums are either planning[/font][font=宋体]，[/font][font=Times New Roman] building[/font][font=宋体]，[/font][font=Times New Roman] or wrapping up wholesale expansion programs. These programs already have radically altered facades and floor plans or are expected to do so in the not-too-distant future.[/font][/color][/size][size=3][color=#29384e][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/color][/size]
[size=3][color=#29384e][font=宋体] [/font][font=Times New Roman]In New York City alone[/font][font=宋体]，[/font][font=Times New Roman] six major institutions have spread up and out into the air space and neighborhoods around them or are preparing to do so.[/font][/color][/size]

[size=3][color=#29384e][font=宋体] [/font][font=Times New Roman]The reasons for this confluence of activity are complex[/font][font=宋体]，[/font][font=Times New Roman] but one factor is a consideration everywhere - space. With collections expanding[/font][font=宋体]，[/font][font=Times New Roman] with the needs and functions of museums changing[/font][font=宋体]，[/font][font=Times New Roman] empty space has become a very precious commodity.[/font][/color][/size]

[size=3][color=#29384e][font=宋体] [/font][font=Times New Roman]Probably nowhere in the country is this more true than at the Philadelphia Museum of Art[/font][font=宋体]，[/font][font=Times New Roman] which has needed additional space for decades and which received its last significant facelift ten years ago. Because of the space crunch[/font][font=宋体]，[/font][font=Times New Roman] the Art Museum has become increasingly cautious in considering acquisitions and donations of art[/font][font=宋体]，[/font][font=Times New Roman] in some cases passing up opportunities to strengthen its collections.[/font][/color][/size]

[size=3][color=#29384e][font=宋体] [/font][font=Times New Roman]Deaccessing - or selling off - works of art has taken on new importance because of the museum[/font][font=宋体]‘’[/font][font=Times New Roman]s space problems. And increasingly[/font][font=宋体]，[/font][font=Times New Roman] curators have been forced to juggle gallery space[/font][font=宋体]，[/font][font=Times New Roman] rotating one masterpiece into public view while another is sent to storage.[/font][/color][/size]

[color=#29384e][font=宋体][size=10.5pt] [/size][/font][size=10.5pt]Despite the clear need for additional gallery and storage space[/size][font=宋体][size=10.5pt]，[/size][/font][size=10.5pt] however[/size][font=宋体][size=10.5pt]，“[/size][/font][size=10.5pt] the museum has no plan[/size][font=宋体][size=10.5pt]，[/size][/font][size=10.5pt] no plan to break out of its envelope in the next fifteen years[/size][font=宋体][size=10.5pt]，”[/size][/font][size=10.5pt] according to Philadelphia Museum of Art[/size][font=宋体][size=10.5pt]‘’[/size][/font][size=10.5pt]s president[/size][/color]
