Doing it independently without state funds (and regulations/intereference)? Illogical. How is he to afford that, then he has to watch him and the funds he accesses. Not worth it. Keeping it local means you and staff you already have can do it.
Exactly.
Now I can understand someone doing it that way for a 2nd museum in a different location, but most often you're going to wanna be more hands on with something like that for the 1st time. That way you can at least set a standard for yourself and see how things operate. It's easier for someone to fukk you and your property over when its on the other side of the country and you gotta take flights and road trips to see it.
