This video discusses the challenges and realities of donating firearm collections to museums. It highlights the rarity of finding a museum whose mission aligns with a private collection, the lack of display space, and the potential for duplicate items to remain locked away in archives. The video proposes a reevaluation of the expectation that museums must keep all acquired items, suggesting this hinders research and the collecting community. The only guaranteed way for a collection to be displayed intact is by funding a dedicated museum wing.
