The Portuguese example

“There is more to the country beyond Lisbon, and at a time of national projection and tourism, it is only natural that we strengthen Porto's creative capacity and artistic scene.” This is how the then Prime Minister of Portugal, António Costa, justified in 2018 the allocation of a collection of Joan Miró paintings from a bank bailout to the Serralves Foundation in Porto. In Portugal, in Spain, and in any civilized country, the role of governments is also to redistribute cultural wealth.
