These students were given $23,000 by a foundation for the diorama. Upon delivery to the museum, it would have ceased to be their property and became property of the museum. To the best of my knowledge, a museum is allowed to change their exhibits. 2. The historically Inaccuracy of the diorama is a failure which should be on the shoulders of the people supervising the creation project without what appears to be proper research, not the new director of the museum who removed it the day after he started his official duties as director at the museum.
