<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2948793, member: 66"]Actually the collection was left to the Harry Bass Foundation and they were to make it available to researchers. The foundation sold off his library, a large portion of his coillection, including a large portion of the gold collection, and then loaned the rest to the ANA on an indefinite loan. That way the foundation "made it available to researchers" but doesn't have to bother with storage or insurance, and the ANA had to create a whole display area in the museum for it at their expense. I see it as a way for the foundation trustees to keep their salaries coming while someone else does all the work and has all the expense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
