In ?Caves of wonder - art lost and found in a warehouse?, Ronald Varney compares family collectors to museums in the sense that both tend to store somewhat forgotten art works. ?Families are similar to museums in this regard: they probably have valuable art languishing in storage; much of it has been accumulated through decades of acquisitions and gifts; they may have no use for it; they are paying storage fees with no end in sight; and sooner or later they will need to inventory all this art and make a plan for it.? He proceeds to tell several stories of those ?caves of wonder? ending with an attic in Baltimore, Maryland
