A Return to the Parrish Art Museum

At the end of 2012 I visited the Parrish Art Museum shortly after the grand opening of the Long Island institution's Herzog & de Meuron building, writing a weekly dose on it in early 2013. Over the weekend I finally returned, specifically to see the Tara Donovan Slinky sculptures. Those sculptures were decent, kind of worth the trip, but I was more impressed by how in just a over a couple years the building has integrated itself into the landscapes designed by Reed Hilderbrand Associates. So below are a few 2012/2015 photos comparisons (keep in mind that the views are not exact matches, but they are fairly close).
