One of the most commonly heard criticisms of Tate Modern is the paucity of its collection in comparison with other major museums.  This article in the New York Times makes for interesting reading, arguing that the collection has encouraged more creative curation down at Bankside. 

There are also some interesting comments about the participatory nature of the Unilever commissions.  One of the big points to be made about, say, Olafur Eliasson's Weather Project, or Rachel Whiteread's Embankment, is that they are shaped largely by the way that people engage with them.  That's great to see in a major commission.
