Hello,

I was just asked what the phrase "on deposit at ___ museum" means when it appears ini the Provenance of a painting.  I can think of several things but they would all be guesses.  Has anyone heard of this term?  If so, please share off list ([log in to unmask]).

Thank you for your help.

Gail
