Reader: New History Colorado Center is world-class, and Michael Paglia is not

Says Guest:

I don't understand why you don't just open your own musuem! I'm quite irritated that you are discounting the amazing work that has been done to open the new museum. I hate when journalists (well, I wouldn't call you a journalist, to me you're just a critic, there's no actual journalism here...and I'd know...I have a degree in journalism) feel like they have to dis things to be cool. The new museum is world-class and we're lucky to have access to it.

And this from another Guest:

I think it's safe to say we are tremendously lucky the author of this column doesn't 't work anywhere near or a museum. I suppose he could build a pristine building, keep people out, and criticize those that do come near for being low-brow. Shame on you, Westword.
