The sheer amount of artifacts is staggering. And there's also a bunch of stuff in storage. When a large tiki in the gardens collapsed a few years back, they just brought out another vintage Tiki that had not been seen in decades. And to EPCOTExplorer's question about the status of the museum artifacts: I assume the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art's Thornton collection is safely stored with the many other private collections, awaiting a future exhibit. I can't speak to the Stanford University collection. Perhaps someone in that area can see if it's on public display.
