Source text - English US outspends the rest
This attitude distinguishes the US from other countries, where museums rely more heavily on government support. We found that $8.9bn was spent on or committed to expansions by 75 museums worldwide between 2007 and 2014. In the UK, $1bn was spent by 15 institutions, with the average UK project costing $69m, compared with $190m in the US. “I wish we had the capacity to do $800m appeals,” Saumarez Smith says. The RA’s £50m expansion, which is due to open in 2018, is “stretching for us—it has to do with the tax system here and the availability of wealth”, he says.
Some ask whether expansions are always a wise investment. Adrian Ellis, a director of AEA Consulting in New York, says one-third of projects are a product of “a failure of imagination”. Bob Rennie, the Vancouver-based real-estate executive who is on the board of the Art Institute of Chicago, says some institutions in North America build extensions without thinking carefully about what will go inside them. “We want to make sure museums don’t become a dumping ground for speculative investments in the art market,” he says. “It costs a lot of money to store and insure these works.”
Indeed, the cost of an expansion does not end with the ribbon-cutting. “There is a tipping point where, instead of the building being a resource, it becomes something that requires resources,” Ceruti says. New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art predicted a rise in its operating budget from $33m to $49m after moving to its new Piano-designed building, according to the New York Times. SFMoMA’s operating budget will soar from $35m to $65m after it opens its new building. Benezra says the museum has more than tripled its endowment as part of a $610m fundraising campaign.
