After "You" Are Gone...

[medals73]

If there were decent focused national museums in the two countries where my collection is the richest (India and Mongolia), the items would go there without a second thought. But even if those museums existed, I'd have concerns over potential "leakage", public access, the lack of interest and expertise, or a patriotic agenda (the same problems as exist, for example, with British regimental museums). I find no excitement in setting up a museum named after myself of even a self-named gallery in some place far away from where the awards have historical relevance. I have seen the tragedy of the McKay Collection at the Smithsonian and the sad fare of the ANS collection.
