Can museums based on one person’s vision really survive effectively once that one person is no longer around? The Barnes Museum’s pending move is only the latest in a long line of single-collector museums struggles to stay relevant (and solvent), and one could question whether total reinvention is really an effective tool. “Every museum doesn’t have to be a major tourist attraction, and people who really want to see the Barnes usually can, with some planning. Some museums — the Miho outside Kyoto for one — are valued in part because of the sheer challenge of reaching them, which becomes a sort of pilgrimage.”
