Everyone should see this film. And most everyone can. It's on IFC Video on Demand. Do it.

It's easy to say the executors should have stuck to the terms of the will, but under the will, they weren't bringing in enough money to support the place. Non-profits CAN be huge moneymakers, if you have the audience, but how many tourists are going to trek out to that place, by appointment? Not enough to keep it afloat. It's unfortunate, but institutions have to make enough $$ to at least maintain their facility and pay their staff. The mis-management of funds is a whole separate questions…

I have always believed that government should by and large stay out of culture. I understand the need or the desire to protect certain institutions or pieces, but there are certainly no shortage of private sector individuals, some of whom have deep pockets even in this recession, who have the ability to do so themselves. Looks like a fascinating documentary. I have my own opinions on art work – I had huge arguments with my professor over at Marquette University in his philosophy of art course – but politically speaking I argue that for the most part, government needs to keep its hands off.
