There seems to be a real drive on to isolate individual works of art (as if visitors are all afflicted with ADHD, apparently), leaving museums the proud display surface of Sherwin-Williams. It is annoying, at best. Naturally, my favorite rooms in the MFA start (or started) at the Egyptian room, which begins with Old Kingdom and winds up making an exit into Greek and Roman stuff. Pretty much wanted to rent an efficiency in the attic overlooking the place and just stay there.
Sterile.
