"These projects aren't about culture, or art, or preserving relics for future generations, they are spending up money to make other people envious."
As to stocking up on artifacts and such. How else will they fill the other "...four new museums on the drawing board" when the time comes. Emir gonna nip over to Harrods for the week end and buy a few bits and bobs to fill the walls and podiums?
And I don't think ANY major building projects anywhere in the world go smoothly. Most go over budget by double before they're even half built! (Let's not even mention the 2012 Olympics lol)
