Island life

摘要

Your article about Berlin's Museum Island (AR October 2014, p27) left me a bit confused. I fully understand the general position of the article expressing a concern about the status of museum infrastructure and about how large museums might handle increasing visitor numbers. Indeed I share Adam Sharr's concerns. This is an interesting discussion and one that is continually rehearsed and debated in every museum. I'm not sure what Adam Sharr adds to this debate by his rather superficial and factually incorrect article. Given the project does not yet exist it may have been useful if Adam Sharr had looked more thoroughly at the proposals before fitting his argument into the project.
