Medieval, Renaissance European Arms, Armour; Major Gift By Ronald S. Lauder To Met Museum of Art

It’s a fact that many millionaires have been good for one thing. Keeping the arts going. Collectors are the people who have kept art from being destroyed. It’s just one of those things. They did one thing right in spite of themselves.

I like the fact that the next home for their collections are in museums where we can all see them, either in person or through publications like this.
