I always thought that the reason for museums to exist, is to show the
originals! And NOT replicas!
Maybe we should call those replica museums: THE FAKE MUSEUM, to get it clear
to the public.
The originals belong to the public and not to the museum director! It is
his/her duty to protect the original, but to show it, for God's sake!
I am not amused!
