Ugh, I don't know if I like this. There was something kind of awesome about Koch gallery before. Red walls? I don't know.
I agree

Look on the bright side - they could have stopped halfway at the yellow walls.

I liked the old space's echoey kind of "night in the museum" feel as you walked through it, but at least the changes they made are not necessarily irreversible. At some point in the future they could strip off all that crap and get back to the naked stone again.
In the meantime give the new room a whirl and maybe it'll grow on you. And for kids who stagger through there, in another 20 years when they change it again they'll be posting the same thing we're posting now -- >whine< I liked it better the way it was >whinge<
Didn't this room previously look something like this?

Way back in the early 70s?
Dull compared to other recent changes at the MFA

To be as bitchy as possible, it is kind of amazing that they chose to cover stone with burgundy fabric. I realize that salon style is the in thing in museum design but this doesn't look chic. It looks humdrum.
Also, unless it was shipped here from over seas, it's not a European Galley. At best it could be called a European style gallery.
I expect better language and design from the MFA.
It's a european gallery in

It's a european gallery in the sense that it houses European art. Like an Egyptian, Greek, or Musical Instrument gallery.
