Since plans for the new culture and convention centre arose in the late 1980s, Lucerne has found a balance between the so-called established culture and [[alternative culture]]. A consensus was reached that culminated in a culture compromise (Kulturkompromiss). The established culture comprises the [[Lucerne Culture and Congress Centre]] (KKL), the city theater ([[Luzerner Theater]]) and, in a broader sense, smaller establishments such as the Kleintheater, founded by [[comedian]] [[Emil Steinberger (actor)|Emil Steinberger]], a Lucerne native, or Stadtkeller, a music restaurant in the city's old town. KKL houses a concert hall as well as the Museum of Art Lucerne ([[Kunstmuseum Luzern]]).

 

Alternative culture took place mostly on the premises of a former tube factory, which became known as [[Boa (Lucerne)|Boa]]. Other localities for alternative culture have since emerged in the same inner city area as Boa. Initially, Boa staged various plays, but concerts became more and more common; this new use of the building clashed with the development of [[apartment]] buildings on nearby lots of land. Due to possible noise pollution, Boa was closed and a replacement in a less heavily inhabited area is currently under construction. Critics claimed though that the new establishment would not meet the requirements for an alternative culture.
