Cultural
Infrastructure
Index
The Cultural Infrastructure Index, undertaken by AEA
Consulting, seeks to measure investment in capitalprojects in the cultural sector globally, identifying
projects with a budget of US$10 million or morethat were publicly announced or completed withina calendar year. “Cultural infrastructure” comprises
museums/galleries, performing arts centers,
multifunction arts venues, and cultural hubs or districts.
Types of projects tracked include new buildings,
renovations, expansions, and adaptive reuse.

Index until they are announced as completed. While wecannot claim that the Index is exhaustive, it is intended
to provide a broad snapshot of global cultural infrastructure investment and offer useful information on thenumber, type, location, and budgets of major cultural
infrastructure projects announced and completed every
year. After six years, we have a high degree of confidence in the picture that we draw.
Last year, we reported the significant impact of thecoronavirus pandemic on the construction, completion,and opening of new cultural infrastructure. This had led
to a decrease of about 30% in the volume and value offormally completed projects. At that time, the future
pipeline of cultural infrastructure development was still
very uncertain. This year, the data paints quite a different picture as we record the highest number of completed and announced projects since we first publishedin 2016. In 2021, a total of 211 projects were completed(more than double the previous year) and 174 projects
were announced (up by a third).

The 2021 analysis is the sixth undertaken by AEA
Consulting.1 The Index seeks to measure investment incapital projects in the cultural sector globally, identifying projects with a budget of US$10 million or more thatwere publicly announced or completed within a calendar year. “Cultural infrastructure” comprises museums/
galleries, performing arts centers, multifunction arts
venues, and cultural hubs or districts, and projects

12This is the sixth year of formal publication. However, AEA has
tracked infrastructure projects in the cultural sector for over eight
years and therefore is able to identify new projects as opposed tore-announced projects with some accuracy. Budget data in currencies other than US dollars were converted to US dollars using
conversion rates current as of May 29, 2022.

While the volume of infrastructure development appears
to have bounced back quicker than we first expected,
their character is likely to show signs of more lastingchange. This year, for example, is the first year that wehave included a category for adaptive reuse projects (inaddition to new buildings, renovations, and expansions),
which represent a growing segment of total investment
as project leaders seek to minimize waste while maximizing social value and relevance to local communities.
In summary, our analysis of global cultural infrastructuredevelopment finds that:•

211 large-scale cultural infrastructure projects werecompleted in 2021, with a total value of $11.2 billion– the highest annual volume and value of completed
projects recorded since we began tracking in 2016
(and by some margin). This is a significant bounceback from a dip last year when only 104 projects
were completed with a value of $5.7 billion.

•

It was a record year for announced projects, too,
which were up 34% from the previous year to reach

tracked include new buildings, renovations, expansions,and adaptive reuse.
The data that underpins the Index is gathered daily
throughout the year by AEA staff members who comb
through publications in English, Spanish, Russian,Arabic, and Chinese, including aggregator sites andnews forums. The Index only captures projects thatare formally announced as planned or as completed
projects. Almost all completed projects are announced
formally, but not all planned projects are announced.
We are aware, for example, that there is significant
and advanced planning of cultural infrastructure in theKingdom of Saudi Arabia that will not be captured in the

174 in total. The value of announced capital investment did not keep pace, however, falling from $8.2
billion in 2020 to $6.5 billion as median project values
dropped 24% from $40.0 million to $30.5 million. Thisdecrease can be attributed, at least in part, to ahandful of major project announcements recordedin Shenzhen in 2020 (valued at $2.5 billion betweenthem).

This year’s growth was led by not-for-profit andprivate initiatives, the volume of which grew by 118%
and 200%, respectively, across both completed
and announced projects. By contrast, investment inpublic projects — while still accounting for 47% of
total infrastructure — fell by 21%. The volume of public-private and commercial projects was more or lessconsistent with the previous year, although the valueof completed commercial projects shot up following
a lull in 2020 (from $28.0 million to $267.0 million) –perhaps indicative of increased confidence as we
adjust to a new, COVID-tolerant operating reality.
Geographically, the number of completed projects
grew in all regions except for Africa. The majority

The number of new-build project announcements
fell this year (down from 102 to 91) as expansion (upfrom 13 to 36) and renovation projects (up from 15
to 29) both increased accounting for $972.0 million
and $1.2 billion of investment, respectively. Our new
category of adaptive reuse projects – which wehave seen become increasingly popular in recent
years – will now be tracked annually. This year, 22
adaptive reuse projects were completed and 18
were announced with a combined value of $1.6
billion.

•

The top three highest value projects completed in
2021 were: M+ Museum at West Kowloon Cultural
District, Hong Kong ($760.0 million); MUNCH, Oslo,
Norway ($632.0 million); and the Academy Museumof Motion Pictures, Los Angeles, CA, US ($482.0
million). The top three announced projects were:First Nations Cultural Precinct, Melbourne, Australia($286.0 million); Natural History Museum, Baoding,
China ($254.0 million); and Ngurra Cultural Precinct,
Canberra, Australia ($227.0 million).

We look forward to the 2022 Index to continue to monitor
these trends.

The most frequently engaged architectural practice was Gehry Partners with four projects this year.
David Chipperfield, Foster + Partners, Herzog &de Meuron, Olson Kundig, Tod Williams Billie Tsien
Architects, and Renzo Piano had three projects each.
Since 2016, the most often engaged practices havebeen David Chipperfield Architects (11 projects),
Herzog & de Meuron (10 projects), Gehry Partners (8projects), and Olson Kundig (8 projects).

of construction took place in North America (92completed projects, 44% of total); Europe (55 projects, 26% of total); and Asia (42 projects, 20% of
total). Australia/New Zealand, the Middle East, Latin
America, and Africa together accounted for 22 completed projects (10% of total). Announced projects
show a similar regional distribution, with a notabledecrease in investment in Asia compared with arecord year last year (down 71% from $3.6 billion to$1.1 billion). Investment continues to become more
widely distributed intra-regionally. Projects wererecorded in 43 countries and 275 cities, only a quarter of which are among the top 75 global cities.2•

Museums remained the dominant building type,accounting for 51% of announced and completed
projects and constituting $8.9 billion of total investment (up 29% from the previous year). Performing
Arts Centers were the next most popular form (24%of projects), and also recorded increased investment
amounting to $4.8 billion (up 72% from the previousyear). Multifunction Arts Venues (17% of projects)2

Access All Areas:
Art Storage Reimagined
Museums around the world are looking for innovative
ways to maximize public access to and the public valueof their collections while still ensuring the objects are
stored in a secure and optimized environment. That is
especially true for publicly-funded museums, the remitof which is not only stewardship of national collections,but also to offer multiple ways for the public to engage
with their collections.

Publicly accessible museum storage is not an entirely novel idea – yet many museum collections remain
behind closed doors, buried in basement vaults, or languishing in out-of-town storage facilities. Some, however, have built greater access to their collections into
both their design and operations. The Museo Larco in
Lima, Peru, was one of the first museums in the world to
make its storerooms open to the public when it opened

the wide-ranging collection and the systems in place topreserve and manage it.
The Depot is designed as a working archive with active
painting, print, sculpture, ceramics, and textile conservation studios that are also ‘on display’ to visitors.
The storage rooms are located at least 20 feet above
sea level – an important consideration given the area’svulnerability to flooding (an increasingly worrying
threat to many museum collections around the world,recently including the Louvre). All storage vaults arehighly secure and digitized, both to support collections
management and to enhance the visitor experience asvisitors can look up items via a mobile app using QR
codes found throughout the facility.

Depot’s construction, and the space is expected to
be used in the future for collaborative and community
partnership projects. The Depot is expected to attract
150,000 to 250,000 people a year, but that is perhaps amodest projection. It is positioned to draw in visitorsand scholars alike, alongside Museum Boijmans Van
Beuningen, maintaining and enhancing access to thisvast collection.

The Depot also contains several curated gallery spaces.
The inaugural exhibition presented highlights from the
Boijmans van Beuningen collection using glass easels
to offer a 360-degree view of the paintings that allow
visitors to see markers of the works’ provenance andtouring history. Another exhibition tells the story of thein 1926. Inside, there are rows of shelving containing
30,000 ancient pottery artifacts, and the entire collection is now also available to view online. In Canada, theVisible Vault at the Winnipeg Art Gallery is a three-story
glass repository filled with around 5,000 Inuit stone carvings. At the center of the vault is a conservation studio,
also visible to the public. In London, a new Victoria &Albert Museum storage facility is scheduled to open
next to the V&A East Museum as part of the East Bank
development. This new space will accommodate around
250,000 objects from V&A’s collection which visitors will
be able to explore in self-guided tours.
In the US, the open access storage galleries at the
Brooklyn Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, andthe Smithsonian American Art Museum allow visitors
to see works currently in storage. Objects are typicallyarranged in curated displays and presented in glass
cabinets. The design of the Broad in Los Angeles takes
a different approach by making its storage facility aprominent feature of the building. Viewing windows
offer visitors a peek into the museum’s collection ofAbove:

8over 2,000 artworks, 99% of which are stored onsite.
Also in Los Angeles, the Autry Museum of the American
West is planning to launch an open resource center – a
new collections care, research, and educational facility that would be accessible not only to scholars andcollection care professionals, but also to the generalpublic.
Depot Boijmans van Beuningen
The contender for the world’s most sophisticated publicly accessible art storage facility to date is perhaps
Depot Boijmans van Beuningen in the Netherlands.
Opened in November 2021 and located in Museumparkin the center of Rotterdam, the $100 million (€94 million) facility stands next to the Museum Boijmans Van
Beuningen’s main building that is closed for renovation until 2025. Designed by Netherlands based architecture practice MVRDV, the building is clad in 1,664
mirrors and topped with 127 trees planted on its roof.
The Depot contains the museum’s entire collection of
151,000 artworks, housed in 14 storage areas with fivedifferent climates over six floors. Visitors can sign up
for guided tours, where they are taken in small groups
around the storage facilities and given an overview ofAbove:
