I was momentarily vexed by the bathroom door--I think there was a pull sign on a push door, or the handle was recessed into the plane of the door, making it difficult to grasp. I just remember thinking A. the museum of MODERN art should be in a MODERNIST building, where there's a premium put on functionality; all the white rectilinear surfaces in the world don't count for shit if it takes you more than 1/10th of a second to open a door, and B. This renovation cost more than $800 million. Yeah, I went to MoMA right after the completion of its expansion a few years ago.
