cultural center
Let an agent explain cultural centres, relay types, functions, funding and history from cultural policy sources, describe the named forms, and distinguish cultural centres from museums, theatres, community centres, libraries and cultural institutes as organisations.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
