Although I recognize that it is not in accordance with any style guide, I believe that the status of the Art Museum as being closed should be highlighted by all caps and bolded--this is a highly unusual occurrance (the only time in the Museum's 80+ year history) and is highly relevant to any potential visitor. If it is not highlighted the fact may be lost in the mass of text. Please do not undo this change. Thanks,Franchecomté 14:21, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Other highlights that should be considered (important/famous works):

George Bellow's "Stag at Sharkey's" Jacques-Louis David's "Cupid and Psyche" Claude Monet's "Waterlilies" John Singer Sargent's "Mrs. Ralph Curtis" Edgar Degas' "Frieze of Dancers" Pablo Picasso's "La Vie" Frans Hals' "Roosterman" Sculpture (purchased from the Pompedieu) by Louise Bourgeouis (can't remember the name)

Should article be reverted to pre-advert insert? Or keep the changes with the revisions as it now is? Just curious, I think the current edition still seems like an add. Toasterking (talk) 18:28, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I can't really see the problem - Laura Andrews has not edited it for over a month. If she wants to be useful, releasing low-res images of star works of theirs we have articles on like The Crucifixion of Saint Andrew (Caravaggio) and Battle of the Nudes (engraving) would be a sensible way to boost their PR.

I have removed the tags as all the peacocky prose has gone. For most purposes, in the case of a museum, the museum itself is the most reliable source as to its holdings, opening hours etc. All other sources will derive from their info anyway. Johnbod (talk) 02:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
