World’s Top Museums Vie For Hong Kong Project

Some of the world’s top museums are competing to be part of the world’s biggest arts project, the multi-billion-dollar Kowloon Cultural District. “Last month it emerged that two former rivals—the Guggenheim and the Pompidou Centre—have joined forces to increase their chances of securing the lucrative deal. It also appears that other museums angling to get in the frame include the Art Institute of Chicago and Asia Society in New York, the Royal Academy of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Musée d’Orsay and Musée Guimet in Paris, and the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.”
