Should the city of Miesbach invest a million in its museum depot?
Or would you prefer to wait until a museum is finally possible?
But first it is important to clarify the central question.
A comment from Merkur editor Dieter Dorby.
No matter whether first the monastery, then the children's house or now the depot: The city council is repeatedly confronted with the open, unpleasant fundamental question: do we really want the museum?
Sure, the city council had already passed a fundamental decision on the museum in April 2013, but in fact never actually lived it.
Too expensive, too complex - other things were always more important.
Ultimately also the childcare, which was given preference when using the monastery.

Expensive cheap solution - Miesbach museum depot should cost one million euros
The city council needs a clear decision as to whether the museum should come.
If so, you can specifically address options such as the Gersthaus.
Not overnight, but determined in the medium term, as was also done with the warm outdoor pool.
And if you don't want the museum, that has to be said clearly.
After all, after years of paying lip service, the museum association is tired of waiting into the unknown.
That demotivates, and the volunteers don't deserve that.
By the way: It's also a question of respect.
However, if the decision is no to the museum in the end, the question remains, why the city is hoarding all of its art-historical treasures.
This also requires a coherent concept.
Because the professional equipment of the depot also costs - and not too low.
