We've got the next Rosalind Krauss on our hands! Tiny art critic Annabelle stopped by MoMA earlier this year and says that while she did get chance to see a thought-provoking collection that included "a coat closet, trash, and two water fountains," she was ultimately "very disappointed" at the lack of paleontological art. Or as she simply put it: "I did not see a dinosaur."
For the kicker, she added this to the personal criticism she left behind when she departed the establishment: "You call yourself a museum!" Harsh words, Annabelle. But may we suggest the American Museum of Natural History's new dinosaur exhibit? Just try to overlook those drop ceilings. [Flavorpill via Hairpin]
