In 2000 (I think) the Royal Ontario Museum hosted a Rodin exhibit that
featured a number of plasters.  I believe the plasters were from the
collection of the MacLaren Art Centre in Barrie, Ontario; you might want
to direct your inquiry to them.  Their website lists an e-mail contact

Our art museum took into its collection in the fifties and sixties
several
plasters from a sculptor who never had these cast presumably for lack
of
funds.  They are figurative images and very well done but the plasters
are
not attractive as they are extremely soiled and not showable.  These
plasters are rather large and taking up a lot of the valuable space in
our
art vault. Have any art museums that you know of taken this sort of
thing
into thier collections as anything other than interesting material to
tell
the story of how the finished work was done?  Any recommendations from
curators or collection managers particulary would be so helpful.  Many
thanks and feel free to write to me off-list at
