Just my opinion, of course.

I share your opinion. I'd even go so far as to say it improves the building by making it less like a Jawa Sandcrawler and more like a building made for people. Especially in the context of the new Inuit gallery, whose scale makes the original entrance look like a service entrance by comparison. I hope they have high standards for what's in the windows though.
The giant posters are 100x worse for the aesthetic of the building. Regardless of how good the exhibit they're advertising is, they look tacky on the otherwise clean and minimalist facade.
