I’ve speculated enough on this fascinating, rumor-inducing question. Now it’s your turn.
Reader Dorothy King, a London-based archaeologist, gets the ball rolling, in response to my Timothy Potts musings.
King writes:
I adore Potts almost as much as you do, and hope he does go to the Met. A couple of other rumors doing the rounds are that he or his wife miss London and will come back here: The National Gallery is open and the British Museum will be in a few years.
Dorothy, I don’t “adore” Timothy, especially when he doesn’t return my phone calls. But let’s keep those juicy rumors flying. After all, why should I be the only one playing this guessing game?
So I ask my savvy readers: Who do YOU think should, or will, succeed Philippe at the Met and why? Keep it pithy and send it here, for publication on CultureGrrl.
