Frank Gehry Dodges a Bad Press Bullet as Construction Begins on Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem

Wherever Frank Gehry is right now (undersea cave? Zaha Hadid’s spacecraft?), he’s probably thanking the heavens that he resigned from the long-troubled Museum of Tolerance project in Jerusalem when he did. After years of debate whether or not the structure should be built on land that was formerly an ancient Muslim cemetery, with groups forming alliances to try and block it out of concern that the construction would damage the buried human remains, the go ahead was finally given to build the museum and guess what happened? News has come out that the excavators working on the preliminary processes of construction have exhumed more than a thousand skeletons and along the way have severely damaged numerous remains.
