in all fairness a muesum is a bit diffrent than a private collector. sure 
both my preserve a relic, however a muesume allows for it to be enjoyed by 
the public as a whole. afterall, what good is a relic if it's left burried 
in the ground so as to never allow us to learn from it, or apreciate it.
