Museums should make a will too.
It would be really disappointing to donate something to a museum and
later see a landlord put everything in a dumpster (skip) and sell it
for scrap.

+200 years ... That museum bellied up 75 years
ago.
Alas yes. But then the same thing will happen to private collections, the
owner will have died long before that.
FWIW, I've disagreed with Mr Donzelli on lots of matters, but I do agree
with him that _everybody_ should make a will. That way, their machines re
hopefully presereved (and I would hope that the chap who receives them
similarly makes a will, and so on).
