This is why these rich motherfuckers chose to donate to such causes. They don't see it as a donation, they think they're buying a museum to showcase whatever they want.

It's such a broken system that our public institutions rely on "philanthropists", whether it be libraries, museums, and especially hospitals.... just tax these fuckers properly and fund our instititions like a normal society
