I'm sorry
for your loss as well.
Thank you.
Me too. I have maybe a vague idea what it's like, from losing my own
parents, which was, to put it mildly, Not Fun At All.
My view is that in many cases the museum policy on
acquisitions is
fundalmentally broken in that they can't give away or sell stuff
they've been given to just anybody,.
I agree that this is seriously broken. But, as for the pragmatic
matter of what to put in your will, maybe you could, rather than
willing your collection to a museum, specify that the museum is to get
whatever subset they want, with the rest to be disposed of otherwise?
(Of course, this does mean choosing a value of "otherwise". I suggest
it just as a workaround for such broken museum policies.)
