As far as major cities go, few other places are in possession of so many treasures that are so poorly exhibited as Berlin. It's as though cultural institutions here go out of their way to keep people from visiting. [...]
The city is undeniably home to diverse, valuable and unique museum collections, but they aren't helping the city as much as they should be.

In the SPIEGEL article's comment section, reader nsmith compares the museum situation in Berlin with New York and raises a word of caution: "I read this article and I am envious. In New York City, it's almost impossible to get into any of the major Museums on any given day, unless you have nerves of steel, lots of patience and very DEEP pockets. Most New Yorkers can't even fit in because they're so full of tourists from around the country, and around the world. A word to the wise; Be careful what you wish for."
Archinectors, how would you describe the state of public art institutions in your city? Great shows and packed halls or much room for improvement?
