So many superlatives can be used in describing Renzo Piano's brilliant redesign and addition to the Morgan, that I won't even begin. Instead, I'll judge the success by the huge crowds I saw there this morning. Should you find yourself struggling to get through a long line, instead bypass it and head directly for the café, gift shop or dining room in order to get an initial glimpse at the masterful renovations. Just a quick visit to the rear room of the gift shop—there are few gilt wood-paneled rooms in New York, and even fewer that function as auxiliary gift shops—reveals the intricacies and complexity of this powerful and stunning place.
