2/ "Revolutionary?!" Are you f*cking kidding? Few, if any, art museums are more conservative, anti-labor, and impressionism-besotted than the long-underperforming PMA.

In historical US art, representations of white mother-and-childs were used to present settlers as more humane and greater than Native people.
The NYT, which refuses to recognize Israeli genocide, is resuscitating a bigoted trope. And today.

This is a time of federal terror and state violence.
No museum, especially one in a majority non-white city, should be requiring visitors to fill out a survey, to reveal information about themselves, for entry.
The Baltimore Museum of Art should immediately halt this policy.
