    Hi Peter,
    The five section painting, “The Pharoah’s Feast”, are a great collection. Any thoughts about offering them to the New York City Metropolitan Museum? That masterpiece belongs in a museum rather than in a private collection. Don’t you agree?

    Of course I agree but the museum (any musum) would have to agree.
