Given the cuts museums and galleries in this country and probably across europe are facing do we need this House of Propaganda and egos?

Dunno. How valuable do you believe the retention of historical and cultural information and experience and treasures, as viewed by others and possibly you, is a priority for 'you' the individual. No matter the national economic status and condition.
 
If it's merely a question of focus of expenditures.... then depending on your view point your in.. out... spend the money elsewhere for whatever reason..... etc.
 
All a matter of perspective.
 
Mine is save what you can save and endorse preservation...the cost and the hows can be rexamined as necessary.... but the point of saving history is a non-issue for me.

Waste of money. If the artefacts were ancient, fair enough, but what's so remarkable about objects from the postwar years?
