<p>[QUOTE="smallaxe, post: 3747180, member: 13430"]My fear in donating to museums is that there is nothing stopping them from just deaccessioning the items to raise funds. The idea of donating to a museum so they can hold the items safely for display and/or research is appealing. The idea of donating items so they can just be sold off to private collectors is much less appealing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
