Missing Barnes already?

No, I don't mean the quirky math teacher. I mean the old Barnes Collection museum, which just closed to move to its new digs in Philadelphia. If you are missing the old location, known for its quirkiness too, then the NY Times has an interactive tour for you.

Nostalgia alert: when I was in college, the Barnes Collection show at the Kimbell was the art event of the year. I still see posters for the show and sometimes hear people talk about it--and it was in 1994. It was especially influential on budding almost-an-art-history-minors like myself.
