I also notice that there is quite a bit of overlap between museums and Starbucks locations. However, unlike the cultural sector, I think it would be better if there were only one single super Starbucks location. Then everywhere else, small independent coffee shops and bodegas were allowed to flourish.

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.
