Public/Private | The Future of the Museum: Profile China
China's cultural sector is growing rapidly in size and scope and 
sophistication in parallel with the country's staggering pace of 
economic development. There has been much talk in the arts community 
about the Chinese government's intention to build 1,000 new museums 
across the country by 2015. All over the country, similar 
developments are brewing. While cautionary tales are looming, at a 
moment when the homogenising forces of globalization also are 
effective in the world of museum and museum architects, for many, 
especially in the greater China region, the spectre of cloning a 
Bilbao like boom is just too seductive. Is the future of the museum 
Asia? Is the future of the museum China?
