Thanks for the great work.

The Hunter Museum is the kind of stuff people with an excessive conservative taste don't get, like the Centre Georges Pompidou over here.
Yet modern and contemporary art like this helps design great furniture and buildings of our time, so it's actually very appreciable.

Moreover, artists are not supposed to repeat achievements from the past, are they?
Oh well, just my thought about this.

Again, thank you for the thread.
