Save the Rose

I saw on the comments section of one of the articles that some people had created websites to save the Rose. I recommend you visit both of these:

 

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/3/in-opposition-to-the-closing-of-the-rose-art-museum

 

http://savetheroseart.org/

 

The Boston Globe article on this situation is their most sent article of the day so I hope the information is getting out there.

 

Some more information was posted by another commenter (unverified, but figured I'd post):

The full collection, according to the director, is worth $300m at a minimum. On the other hand, the museum draws only 13,000 visitors a year, is almost unknown outside of the art world, and lacks the space to exhibit its treasures. Plans to build a huge new wing evaporated a few months ago, when the donor withdrew.

 

Let's not let Madoff and the economic climate dictate what happens here...
