Things in museums are for everyone, folk shouldn't be able to buy them if they are rich enough.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-25059637998949867032009-12-01T21:22:40.998+00:002009-12-01T21:22:40.998+00:00One of my college profs was a bit of a military ar...One of my college profs was a bit of a military artifact collector who really knew his stuff. He knew it so well that he was approached by the FBI here in the US to go undercover to bust the curator of the Smithsonian's Air & Space museum for selling artifacts owned by the Smithsonian to private collectors. <br /><br />He was successful in his mission and even had an article written up about him in the <i>NY Times</i>. But what he commented on to his history classes was how unusual it was being shown pieces of history as if they were his to own... for the right price. Imagine going through your favorite museum being treated as a "customer" with the items on display being for sale.Perplexiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971805688658949769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-47126445044516588602009-11-10T20:41:49.377+00:002009-11-10T20:41:49.377+00:00Hi Eliza!

Oh I agree, I'd be very happy digging around, as long as afterwards there was a hot shower, clean clothes, and a warm toddy of some kind!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-21902410709625308452009-11-10T20:39:10.341+00:002009-11-10T20:39:10.341+00:00Hi Rose!
