  Vic if you don't have items to display you don't have a museum. Museum exhibits change.
  
  I'm now moving from a glass to a full bottle?
  
  I think I'll give up.

  Suppose we sold off a few of them and put the proceeds in a civic trust for the benefit of the museum?

  Even better, once the Localism bill is passed into law, we humble citizens might make a takeover bid for the museum and all the tucked-away bits and pieces. There are of course also questions to be asked about objets d'art in the possession of DHB.

  As Bern would say, FFS and some more FFF's !!!
  
  The Museum regularly rotates it's exhibitions (and chances are loans items out) and things ARE displayed when appropriate. Everything cannot be on display all the time. If it were it would be a static never changing museum and that won't bring people to it (one of the problems with the White Cliffs Experience).
  
  I have seen the store in Deal and at the Town Hall (and have helped move them in the past). I admit that there are some items that aren't really practical to display because of the size but they may have sort of covenant on them.
  
  EVERY museum has stores and cannot display it all - look the Science Museum, they have half an airport full of stuff at Wroughton that isn't seen, but even they regularly change their displays......
  Been nice knowing you :)
