Sad but, somehow inevitable, Richard.
It takes ages and an intense pouring of money to gather such a high end collection. It is hardly conceivable that someone shows up with the necessary funds and willing to buy it in one go. Museums are more fond of offers or loans than to cash acquisitions. Eventually Michael tried to put up some compromise with a couple of them, but they evaded.
On the other hand, the person to whom he left his treasure is no collector; however apt to realize by himself the high value of the pieces or enticed by an ever present auctioneer, he finds it practical to sell out piece by piece, which will provide him life support for a long while .
(This is a fictional story made with real events).

My interest is partly in creating full size pieces...
