The Pleasing New Prado

Spaniards aren’t happy with Rafael Moneo’s extension to the beloved Prado Museum. “People have taken to the streets. Placards have been painted, voices raised, passions stirred. Questions have been asked in parliament, petitions heard in the supreme court.” But “get real. Rafael Moneo’s newly completed extension is as far from tacky as it’s possible to get. It’s like accusing Cary Grant of slovenliness.”
