[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 5134899, member: 110226"]I think museums are generally staffed by professional, conscientious staff. Of course there are exceptions, such as the medals in buckets mentioned earlier, but on the whole I think museums, repositories of our history and culture, serve a vital role in promoting learning and educating the public about how societies of the past existed evolved. This is the issue of how collections donated to these organizations are handled. Of course, not everything can be exhibited, and museums do sell off duplicates and other items to raise funds. I think my collection will be bequeathed to either a museum or university classics department (at least for the ancients), since I would like to think all of this accumulation would serve a useful purpose, but that's of posterity to decide.[/QUOTE]
