        (my apologies if you have received this message twice)

>       I'm wondering if you can help me in my research for a story I am
> writing for Museum Victoria's quarterly Museum magazine....
>
>       The story is about the way the management of museum collections has
> changed and how new technologies are making the tracking, security and
> management of priceless museum objects easier and more efficient. To
> illustrate the story I'm looking for examples of how museum collection
> management has failed in the past. Everyone remembers the story of the
> priceless object unknowingly used as a doorstop in a museum somewhere....
>
>       Specific stories, no matter how old, of lost objects, newly
> discovered objects and misplaced objects would be greatly appreciated.
