		This reached a climax mid-2000 when negotiations for the city of Sydney to take control of the MCA were undertaken with the University of Sydney, a key player in the fate of the building due to its 39 year lease on the structure.

		The presentation in an institution such as a museum, of a any culture is a vitally important source of identity for the people constituting that culture; hence the way in which it is constructed, the exertion of influence behind the display and the signs and images it conveys is of vital importance to cultural identification.
