An unfinished mountain in Berlin's Grunewald forest, built from the rubble of 400,000 buildings and once used as a Cold War listening station by the US NSA, has been transformed into Europe's largest open-air street art gallery.

The site operates as a curated exhibition space with admission fees, guided tours, and regular new commissions, and has been a listed building since November 2018.
The Faizi Rahmeen Art Gallery in Karachi, Pakistan, remains unfinished over 35 years after its inception, despite being initiated during the tenure of former MQM Mayor Dr. Farooq Sattar. Construction of the ground-plus-three-storey structure was completed by 1992 at an estimated cost of Rs80 million, but work stalled after the launch of "Operation Clean-Up" against the MQM and the dissolution of the local government. A brief revival in 2007 only saw installation of glass panels and floor tiling; core civil works are only 70% complete, and key systems like electrical, mechanical, revolving stage, and sound system are still pending. The site, formerly the residence of renowned author Atiya Begum and artist Faizi Rahmeen, was donated to the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) in trust with the explicit intention of establishing an art gallery. KMC's Culture, Sports and Recreation office now operates from the property, but the gallery itself remains stalled due to lack of political priority for arts and culture.
