I'm heading into the city for this morning's big press opening for the Museum of Fine Arts' new, half-billion-dollar Art of the Americas wing. And if everything goes as planned, I'll be tweeting it via @jbnbpt. I might post something more substantive here later in the day, if I have something unique to say, but it seems like the rest of the media has the topic pretty well blanketed, including a Globe special section coming Sunday. Truth is, it's easy to get swept up in the day-one excitement about a project like this, and the real value, the real impact, won't become clear for months or years. I am excited, though, and anyone who cares about the arts ought to be, too. So, I'll see you on Twitter circa 10 a.m.
