Having spent a portion of my free-time in museums around the world, I am always keen to see new architectural developments. In Boston the MFA has begun its metamorphosis, but having intentions based in the classical arts its new shape will not stimulate.
On the other side of the Atlantic, and at the other end of the art spectrum, the Tate Modern is attempting to accommodate both its popularity (defined by sheer volume of visitors) and its mission (defined by Modern art).
Herzog & de Meuron have an exciting plan for Tate Modern. As exciting as a reclaimed power plant was, this actually looks more interesting.
I am hoping one of my architecturally minded friends will offer up some insight (and/or more links) on these concepts.
