Antiquity Market Grapples With Stricter Guidelines for Gifts - NYTimes.com
Across the country measures taken to curb the trade in looted
artifacts are making it more difficult for collectors of antiquities
to donate, or sell, the cultural treasures that fill their homes,
display cases and storage units.
Museums typically no longer want artifacts that do not have a
documented history stretching back past 1970, a date set by the
Association of Art Museum Directors, whose guidelines most
institutions have adopted. Drawn up in 2008, the rules have been
applauded by countries seeking to recover their artifacts and by
archaeologists looking to study objects in their natural settings.
