The Davos voters rejected an investment contribution of 4 million francs (4.31 million euros) for an expansion of the Kirchner Museum with 55.6 percent of votes against. Voter turnout was 48.36 percent. The background to the planned expansion is a permanent loan from the top-class Ulmberg private collection by entrepreneur Uwe Holy. A permanent loan of 100 works, including numerous large-format paintings, was planned.
