It is acceptable for a museum to sell parts of its collection

[Anonymous No.3285192]

Often museums don't appreciate their full inventory, nor is there harm in selling back assets to private ownership to acquire an art the public would like to view.

That's interesting actually, how does the thing actually works? I know museums' directors can select which pieces are displayed and which are just stored, but I'd like to hear from an actual professional of museum management.

Though there are many stories of public museums using the public's tax payer money to display private art of collectors with """"""ties''''''''''' to the museum in order to boost the wealth of the individual collectors stock. The art market is known for abuses.

The public private debate around art is a worthwhile one,. often all is not as it appears.
