The burj khalifa is vastly more impressive than the notre dame from an architectural perspective.

Any of the top 100 movies on imdb can stand its own as far as capturing the imagination and delivering enjoyment as any of the great symphonies of old.

Modern art is different, but it is not inferior. I would argue today’s art vastly exceeds any period in history in scale and imagination. And beauty, well, that’s a personal matter.

Would you argue traditional japanese sword forging produced superior weapons to today’s because nobody makes swords that way anymore?

Seriously? Or are you being deliberately provocative? As I understand it the Burj is considered pretty vulgar.
