Bklink: Aquarium Talk

Make sure to check out the interview with Jon Dohlin, the new director of the New York Aquarium in Coney Island. A sample: "Here's what's not going to happen - except in my dreams: we're not going to blow the place up, and start over. Even something as completely agreed upon - in terms of need and priority - as the perimeter, we can't just say, 'OK, so next year we're going to be closed for a year, and redo the whole perimeter in this fantastical thing,' because there's huge questions of where we're going to find the money. And in terms of where the priorities are: do people come here from the look of it from the outside, or for the experience on the inside."--Kinetic Carnival
