Yes, easier to see this collection now. Barnes should have had one clause, in the event that this collection cannot remain where it’s intended, my collection goes to France, including the house it’s in. Henry Ford moved over 60 historical structures to Greenfield Village. Painstakingly marking each stud, and grounding up the walls and reusing the materials. When there was a fire in one of the structures, you could see the studs marked, and numbered. Barnes estate should have made France the alternate beneficiaries to his estate. Sure, I loved seeing the Barnes in the city, that’s not the point.
