Talk:Kimbell Art Museum

message: The Prime Meridian runs through Greenwich in London, separating the western and eastern hemispheres.  The National Gallery owns two paintings, the Royal Academy owns one sculpture and the British Museum owns one of the largest collections of his drawings.  All three of these institutions are on the western side of the prime meridian in London, therefore the Kimbell Art Museum's painting by Michelangelo is by far not the only work of his on exhibit in the Western Hemisphere.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emporole (talk • contribs) 00:25, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You are right that almost all London museums are in the Western Hemisphere in the most precise sense of that term because most of London, and indeed most of Britain, is west of the Prime Meridian in the London suburb of Greenwich.  However, as the Wikipedia article on the Western Hemisphere points out, the term "is also used, mainly in North America, to specifically refer to the Americas (or the New World) and adjacent waters."  A quick check of Wikipedia reveals many instances in which the term is used in that sense.  For example, Wikipedia says the Economy of Brazil is the second largest in the western hemisphere, even though both the U.S. and Britain actually have larger economies.  Similarly, the article on the Monroe Doctrine talks about limiting European influence in the western hemisphere but clearly not in the sense that would include, say, Liverpool.  All of this indicates to me that both senses of the term are acceptable in Wikipedia.  However, when I add the original line back to the Kimbell article, I will alter it from its original wording ("the only work by Michelangelo on exhibit in the Western Hemisphere") to "the only work by Michelangelo on exhibit in the Americas," which is undoubtedly the meaning intended by the cited newspaper article that is the source of that piece of information.
