<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2790298, member: 83956&quot;]I think this disassociation is a bit disingenuous. The Green family bought the property for the museum, and the proposed museum will house the Green collection of artifacts. It seems the Greens and this museum are quite intimately connected, even if they keep the paperwork separate. Perhaps the museum directors are in a bind: the Greens have the, um, green, but the museum professionals have to keep the acquisitions legal and compliant. </p><p><br /></p><p>The source here is the Baptist Press--a press one might expect to be somewhat sympathetic to the Greens&#039; enterprise: &quot;Green began collecting rare Bibles and other artifacts in 2009 and has presented the items in a traveling exhibit aimed at revealing the Bible&#039;s accuracy. Credited as recently as 2012 with holding the largest personal collection of rare biblical artifacts in the world, the Green family purchased the site of the Museum of the Bible for $50 million. The 430,000-square-foot structure is just three blocks from the nation&#039;s Capitol.&quot; <a href="http://bpnews.net/49180/hobby-lobby-to-forfeit-bible-artifacts-pay-3m-fine" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://bpnews.net/49180/hobby-lobby-to-forfeit-bible-artifacts-pay-3m-fine" rel="nofollow">http://bpnews.net/49180/hobby-lobby-to-forfeit-bible-artifacts-pay-3m-fine</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
