This didn't seem to go through on the first try--my apologies if this
ends up on the list twice.

Last, it is always better to have a piece on exhibit
instead of storage.

Oh, I don't know about that--we have a number of pieces I wouldn't
consider putting on display, whether because of condition, sacredness of
some pieces to particular groups, or offensiveness of some pieces to
other people.  And, if eating, drinking, and smoking were to go on in
our galleries (as may well be the case in a university president's
home),  I can think of a bunch of pieces we currently have on display
that would be much better off  in storage.
