When I was at the National Gallery I don't believe there were any
restrictions on board collecting--after all, it was hoped that in due course
the members' collections would make their way to the Gallery. The
restrictions were actually placed on curators (and other staff members, I
would suppose) instead--anything they were considering adding to their
collections had to be offered to the museum first. This included gifts of
work from artists as well. Sorry I can't provide an example of the policy,
but you get the idea.
