Untitled
Although I recognize that it is not in accordance with any style guide, I believe that the status of the Art Museum as being closed should be highlighted by all caps and bolded--this is a highly unusual occurrance (the only time in the Museum's 80+ year history) and is highly relevant to any potential visitor. If it is not highlighted the fact may be lost in the mass of text. Please do not undo this change. Thanks,Franchecomté 14:21, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Other highlights that should be considered (important/famous works):

George Bellow's "Stag at Sharkey's" Jacques-Louis David's "Cupid and Psyche" Claude Monet's "Waterlilies" John Singer Sargent's "Mrs. Ralph Curtis" Edgar Degas' "Frieze of Dancers" Pablo Picasso's "La Vie" Frans Hals' "Roosterman" Sculpture (purchased from the Pompedieu) by Louise Bourgeouis (can't remember the name)

Should article be reverted to pre-advert insert? Or keep the changes with the revisions as it now is? Just curious, I think the current edition still seems like an add. Toasterking (talk) 18:28, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I can't really see the problem - Laura Andrews has not edited it for over a month. If she wants to be useful, releasing low-res images of star works of theirs we have articles on like The Crucifixion of Saint Andrew (Caravaggio) and Battle of the Nudes (engraving) would be a sensible way to boost their PR.

 * I have removed the tags as all the peacocky prose has gone. For most purposes, in the case of a museum, the museum itself is the most reliable source as to its holdings, opening hours etc. All other sources will derive from their info anyway. Johnbod (talk) 02:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Renovation of the building... check! Now, how about renovating this article?
Alright, so I've decided that this article was a really poor representation of what truly is a great museum -- particularly when you look at the other museum articles on WP -- and inasmuch I've begun to re-vamp it. It now has an infobox, and I've fleshed out a bit more of what was basically a summary entry on the history of the building. Also included now is a gallery of some of the CMA site professes to be its most important works (I had to source and upload a few images). What I am envisioning for the next phase, is to begin partitiong the section labelled Holdings into subsections relevant to the museum's various collections (at the very least, its most distinguished collections anyway). There's a lot to be tinkered with still, and of course it's Wikipedia, so nothing is carved in stone, but hopefully this gets the ball rolling. Thoughts anyone?Ryecatcher773 (talk) 07:05, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

The only major American museum to be free to the public? Are none of the museums in Washington DC major? Or are they not American? The National Gallery of Art? The Sackler and Freer galleries? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.234.50.214 (talk) 17:27, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Planned Edits
I'm planning to work on some of the items listed in the To-Do list, specifically expanding the 20th century history and reorganizing the Permanent Collections section. I'd like to break the permanent collections section into subheadings of the different collections already included in the text (European Painting and Sculpture, Modern European Painting and Sculpture, American Painting and Sculpture, Photography, Decorative Art and Design). Then, rather than having one large gallery of what looks like random and different pieces, I'd like to break the gallery up based on the subheading it fits under. In other words, photographs of pieces in the Decorative Art and Design collection will be listed under the Decorative Art and Design subheading. Subheadings will also include some information about the collection, like how many pieces make up the collection, where it is in the museum, why it is a notable colleciton, etc. Alpirc2017 (talk) 16:34, 31 October 2018 (UTC)Alpirc2017
