Hi John, The museum I directed was a municipal museum and was funded by the city. For that reason the museum could not receive revenues for sale of art from its galleries. However, the non-profit corporation, The Friends, sold paintings through the museum store.Many of us, myself included, felt that a museum is not a gallery and selling artwork seemed commercial.
