“Three prominent museum-world figures who are Brandeis University graduates” — the director of the Whitney Museum of American Art; the chairman of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s department of 19th-century, modern and contemporary art; and the director of Duke University’s Nasher Museum of Art — “spoke out vigorously on Tuesday against the school’s plans to close its Rose Art Museum and sell off artworks to raise money.” Their open letter is posted on the Rose’s website.
