I'd hardly call the British Museum predatory, though you're you're entitled to your opinion. Just read a book about Pacific Art and it'll be liberally illustrated with photographs from the British Museum's collection. They go far beyond just putting artifacts on show - they make them accessible to scholars, writers, Tikiphiles and the usual tourists. The work they do is stunning and of incalculable benefit to mankind and our appreciation of other cultures. Just because it's collection beggars belief doesn't make it predatory. Trader Woody
