Also remember that museums don't necessarily honor contracts, and when they
don't, courts may fail to enforce them. There was a notorious case a few years ago
involving a museum created by a bequest that required it to be remain located in whatever
town it was founded in (a small town in PA, I think). At some point the people running
the museum decided they didn't like that and moved it to another city (Philadelphia?).
The descendants of the benefactor sued for breach of contract, and lost. I forgot what
fancy BS the courts used to justify their decision, but in some lawyerly fashion they
did.

What museum was that?

The Barnes Collection, from Merion, PA to Philadelphia, 2004.
