The Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia has finally received the major boost it has pleaded for after a number of years. The famous museum was granted 224 million Australian dollars ($184 million USD) to expand its quarters. The expansion will “turn our 19th century gallery into a global museum of the future”, said the state treasurer. The museum expansion has the whole city tremendously enthused about the cultural impact it will have on the city and its people. The city is already calling the expansion, ‘Sydney Modern’, and believes it will finally become a worthy competitor to its rival city, Melbourne, for cultural richness. The generous grant will help cover some of the costs for the Japanese designer to create a work of masterpiece, while the remaining costs will need to be campaigned for. The prestigious designer will have to deal with the archaic and clutter the museum’s state is currently in, but the museum has remained to stay perpetually popular, so luckily the attraction has not diminished along with the museum’s cultural style. City officials are hoping that ‘Sydney Modern’ will bring in an additional $1 billion into the economy (over a span of 25 years) and the museum will double in attendance. Aside from what ‘Sydney Modern’ will do for Sydney’s economy, it will undoubtedly do so much for the culture of the city. It will help bring a new wave of art, music, and literature to the people of Sydney, and there is no dollar amount worth that gain.
