Guggenheim Helsinki State Funding Rejected
One of Finland?s three ruling parties vetoed any possibility of government funding for a Guggenheim museum on the capital?s waterfront, reports The Guardian.
?There will be no state money for this venture,? stated Timo Soini, leader of the populist Finns party. ?The matter will not even be raised during coalition budget talks. I hope this is now clear for our coalition partners.?
Last month the economic affairs minister, Olli Rehn, suggested the government could provide ?40m of the museums?s estimated ?150m construction costs, arguing that a Helsinki outpost of the New York-based foundation would be good for tourism and business.
