Thank you for the correction. I read the article too quickly,
and misinterpreted the sentence
It is sad that a billionaire would create a
museum but
then instruct his heirs to dismantle it upon his death,
That's not at all what happened; please, let's not write such things
that suggest that it is.
The closure came as the estate began to deal with a
number of
properties that no longer had a billionaire benefactor to help keep the
doors open, and in line with what the estate says was Allen’s desire to
sell his assets after his passing.
It is the estate's position that Allen wanted the museum's assets
to be sold, and not Allen's stated wishes.
