Ever since the opening of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, major cultural institutions have become an important driver in the globalisation of cities and anchors in cultural districts around the world.

An ongoing research project spearheaded by Martin Müller and David Gogishvili from the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, aims to trace the spread of these capital projects, also known as cultural flagships, around the world from the 1990s to today – asking questions like: where are these institutions being opened? What type dominates – museums, theatres, others? How expensive are they? Who are the (st)architects behind their design? And what does the future hold for this paradigm?

Based on interim findings from the research, this breakout session will explore the past, present, and future trends in global cultural investment. We will also unearth curious trivia to spring on an unsuspecting neighbour during the gala dinner, such as: Which is the city with the highest number of new cultural flagships opened between 1990 and today?
