Howdy!
Over at Marc Gauthier's blog he makes some quick comparisons between the expansion projects of the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal and the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec. The one that jumps out at me is that the private sector contributed only $900,000 to the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, while the private sector contributed $22,600,000 to the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec.
First they exhibit dildos, then they get a fundraiser to curate a show, and then they use their own press releases to puff up their collection of reviews, and now this. Man, the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal needs help in a big way. Quickly.
[Edit May 2: According to this tweet by the head of the Membership Office at the museum, Marc Gauthier's figures are wrong.]
[Edit May 5: Marc Gauthier clarifies things and points out that the numbers come from the third paragraph of a press release published by the museum themselves.]
