I'd agree with you if people actually regularly visited museums.
Most people are NPC bots, I regularly go to museums and have seen every exhibit from antiquity that has been hosted here. Greek, Roman, Egyptian, etc.
I traveled overseas and saw dark ages collections, post-impressionist art exhibits and many, many more.
There is a lot of talk about culture and traditional values, even amongst our core demographic. But even here most just want to listen to nigger rap and pop pills, only espousing to the image of alt-right for appearance's sake.
Well, it wouldn't cost the museum $8M in taxes. It's sold as an art piece and it's worth what some rich asshole is willing to pay for it.
Last month someone paid 1.3M for a picture of a rock. I could care less about that, but articles of anthropological, archaeological and paleontological significance should never be kept as a private piece who cant understand its significance.
That's like saying I don't care if Chaucer, Shakespeare, Van Gogh, or the Sutton Hoo helmet could be in some rich oligarch's bragging room.
You may not personally care, but there are others that have an interest in it, and someone in there might discover something important that could benefit science, history, or any avenue of research and study.
Of all the things taxes are wasted on, curating exhibits is not one of them.
You never see nigger countries with museums, but you're happy for white countries to hand over potential submissions to Bill Gates pool room?
Look, I get that you like going to museums. But would you go if they charged $1,000 a ticket? Fuck no you wouldn't. Instead you let them pass the price onto everyone else because you want to enjoy it.
Better to spend on the arts than gibs or exhorbitant defence budgets for perpetual Jew wars.
I'd much rather personally own shit like ancient weapons, armors, maybe some paintings
This is all curated too, you wouldnt be able to see it if it was all in private collections, you wouldn't even know it exists.
Who is to say that person X doesnt like medieval armour or person Y doesnt like oil paintings? Because if that was the argument then none of it would be passed on to the tax payer. It ends up being like cancel culture, a minority wants to opt out so no one gets to see it.
Since when is owning private property a bad thing?
When that private property has historical or cultural significance. Some things need to be state owned, others community/common owned and other things private owned. You work hard to earn assets, they are your private property.
Someone discovers artefacts from an anceint civilisation they need to be accessible to the community to enjoy and an elect few that are studying it to write articles or books on to teach students.
If I want to see history I wouldn't go to a museum ever. I'd go see the Acropolis or the Colosseum.
Most of them fall under cultural ministries, the same ministries that own the museums. They are state funded by the governement from our taxes for maintenance in part.
Now that would be pretty funny if they were owned by some knob billionaire like Bezos and he didn't let you go inside now wouldn't it.
Go where history happened, don't bring it to you unless you're paying for it all yourself.
Not everyone can afford to travel, that's why curated exhibits exist. Articles are leased to other museums in the world (for money, how most museums make their money not from your hypothesised $8M) so people can enjoy and learn about civilisations, cultures, art.
