RE: Philadelphia History Museum(s)

This is an interesting point and I think it's a useful comparison to make. A single super Starbucks is entirely improbable because, however popular, Starbucks remains a capitalist colossus. Similarly, cultural institutions seem to thrive on competition as part of their own capitalist market. So the idea of a central museum allowing other smaller museums to thrive is interesting but strikes me as unlikely.
