The RR museum I'm most familiar with has politics involved that make the
current US situation look like a collegial walk in the park.
Throw in that it is owned as some of the best are by government entities
who believe they know everything, and you get what you mention below.
I don't know about the wrangling but at least the CHM isn't government
owned.
I support them and Al with all I have. When my toys go away someday,
hopefully the best stuff will find a home there. A lot of it is
equipment which they do not currently have, and I'm not done playing with.

please do not assume they are all like that. Many technical museums
are very good stewards of their artifacts.
