I admire those who donate or permanently lend their collections to a public gallery or museum.

I wonder if the museums in Oxford would be interested in doing the same, especially taking artifacts to schools in the County. I also like the idea of art on tube trains. It's a pity the idea was ridiculed - why not have posters of great works of art? Having worked in London many moons ago, I know how boring tube journeys are, looking at the same old adverts over and over. Anything to break the monotony has got to be a good thing. IIRC there was poetry on tubes a few years ago, which seemed quite popular at the time. This is a great initiative.
