What a truly god-awful design. It’s like they hate the Square and want to kill it.

I don’t mean the overall style, I mean tearing down enjoyable, human-scaled buildings, and plopping down an automobile-scaled façade in the middle of a pedestrian-oriented area. The city government has already run surveys asking for suggestions on how to “activate” the space outside of the current museum, but it’s hopeless. You can’t “activate” a blank, stone wall. Replacing it with a blank, glass wall is not an improvement.
