Musealification and the Outrage du Jour

Taking the train through Penn Station in New York is a claustrophobic experience. You step off a regional train and you're welcomed to NYC by this veritable dung-heap. No doubt, the station felt ultra modern back in the 60's but now it's low ceilings feel like they are going to crush you.

But oh! How nice! While waiting in line, they decided to treat you to a taste of what you missed. To the left is the photo framed on the wall. It's the old Penn Station which was torn down in the 60's when we descided as a society that our historical architecture was not worth protecting. Below is an image of what it was replaced with. Which one doe you prefer?
