I'm curious how this can be tracked when there's no admission to get in?
I think moving it is a good idea, but still sad at the same time. Obviously the current location has a lot of history behind it, but putting at River Landing will give it new life. With River Landing being the place most people visiting Saskatoon will likely stop at, if not anywhere else, I think it's the perfect spot for the gallery. It will definetely be more accessible than the current location and with the huge increase in space it should be worth paying a (hopefully) small admission to see it all.
I also think it would be a good thing to at least name part of the building with Mendel, such as one wing or room as the "Mendel Gallery" in recognition of the history of the gallery.
