Not all critics were pleased with the new museum when it opened. Michael Kimmelman, the architecture critic of the "New York Times", published a review on 2 July 2006 entitled: "Heart of Darkness in the City of Light". He called the museum "a missed opportunity and an inexplicable exercise" and said it was "devised as a spooky jungle, red and black and murky, the objects in it chosen and arranged with hardly any discernible logic. The place is briefly thrilling, as spectacle, but brow-slappingly wrongheaded...The place simply makes no sense. Old, new, good, bad are jumbled all together without much reason or explanation, save for visual theatrics."
