And that's not to mention that accepting donations of artifacts deprives
people in the business of selling them THEIR livelihood. . . .  _ I_
don't see that as even a tiny ethical dilemma.  Museums should be in the
"business" of being museums, not in supporting business.  The ethical
dilemma I _do_ see is in misusing the money donated to a non-profit
museum by not getting the most bang for the buck.
