What are your strongest arguments for upholding the "no strings attached"
policy for donations to museum collections?
I am a young professional and occassionally I find that I must back up my
opinions with hard facts or the words of others before people listen
to me.  I insist that no professional museum promises donors permanent
display of an object (this is noted several times in the
Museum-L archives but no rationale is provided).  I need the words of other
professionals to back me up.  Thanks for your help.
