Humans are capable of both creating extraordinary artworks and destroying them in a blink. After thousands of years’ conflicts and wars, world leaders have come to an agreement that the senseless destruction of artworks and cultural heritage has to come to an end. In a UN conference, Australia has declared itself as a permanent neutral country and will not take part in any future international conflicts. Following this decision, Australia become an ideal sanctuary for artwork from all over the world, especially from the regions under the threat of constant conflicts. Melbourne quickly stands out among all Australian cities thanks to its long emphasis on culture, which leads to the arrival of waves of artifacts. This become an opportunity for local authorities to properly utilise these valuable products of human culture and truly establish Melbourne as the world’s cultural capital. In order to accommodate this need, the ARTK is commissioned.
