Apparently the distinction is headed for the scrap
heap.
Interesting that "scrap heap" is mentioned. A real museum should have
some formal mechanism so stuff does not end up in the scrap heap after
the museum fails. Failure can be the loss of funding, loss of space,
death of "the main guy", divorce, apathy, or a million other reasons.
Recall about a week or so ago I had an informal survey concerning
wills, and taking care of collections after the collectors have
passed. Results were better than last time - barely. Two.
I guess this means there are going to be a lot of Straight-8s and
Apple Is scrapped in the next 20-30 years.
