Haha, I knew someone would comment on the Grass part. Nazi allegations are the comment equivalent of clickbait, sorry. In all seriousness, Grass' history was a hotly debated topic in Germany.
I didn't want to sound overly dismissive or hateful of Steidl and his projects, it just irks me that local residents rarely have a say in such matters. I'm all for publicly subsidized museums (n.b. I have no idea if and how much subsidies the Grass museum gets), but given the choice I prefer a museum that is interesting to people of all ages, all classes, families with kids... as opposed to a very special interest, upper class thing. That should have a place, too, but I would have wished more debate beforehand.
